According to Q4 2008 filings with the SEC, Microsoft Zune revenue has fallen over $100 million USD year-on-year from 2007, confirming that Zune sales continue to struggle mightily.
The rest of the division, Microsoft Entertainment and Devices, brought in $151 million USD profit, on the back of strong Xbox 360 sales.
The revenue number represents a a 54 percent drop year on year, and has led analysts to believe that the device may be on its way out, despite the recent release of 3rd generation flash models.
To date there have only been 3.2 million Zune units sold compared to Apple's 170 million iPod sales.
