Windows tablets gaining traction in Japan

Sales of Windows-based tablets in Japan have been rising as vendors have been aggressively releasing Windows 8.1-based 8-inch models since October 2013. In February 2014, 15.7 percent of Japan’s tablet sales were contributed by Windows-based models, up significantly from a year ago and also larger than the Windows tablet’s share of 2 percent in the worldwide tablet market, according to figures from Japan-based BCN.
