Kindle first-year sales

A thread on the MobileRead forums contains a link to a brief summary of a Forrester report 
saying that Amazon "...will be lucky to sell more than 50,000 units in its first year."

Another link is to a recent Boston Globe article quotes James McQuivey, the author of the 
Forrester report, as saying that the Sony Reader "can't have sold more than 'a few tens of 
thousands' since its launch last year."

Anybody happen to remember how many earlier ebook readers like the Rocket eBook and the 
REB 1200 were sold?  Also of interest is the GEB 1150, still on the market as the Fictionwise 
eBookwise.
