Apple’s User Numbers for Final Cut Pro – A History
-
[Marcus Moore] “I’m inclined to believe that Apple (and as noted by Philip who I trust on these points) counts sales as SALES. Over 1 million = over 1 million x $299.”
Marcus,
Apple very pointedly hasn’t announced sales of FCP X.
The “over 1 million” announcement was “installations” according to Larry Jordan. If you have other info, please share.
All other announcements were “users” except where noted.

Only the info by Philip Hodgetts. Knowing him I’d say anything he says is very likely true, but I can’t support that any other way.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Thanks for this. Vaguely interesting. Would be good to see back to release date.”
Hey Franz. This graph does represent FCP X rank history from it’s first day of release on the MacAppStore in June 2011.
[Franz Bieberkopf] “Actually we have no idea what the charts of the App Store mean. Apple makes no claims nor provides any information on what they represent.”
Well, it is somewhat self evident. Most downloaded paid apps on the MacAppStore. It’s actually quite remarkable to me that FCP X does as well in the rankings as this- considering “paid” apps are anything down to $.99.
Today, I’ll do an overlay of all the Apple ProApps on the same chart with the same scale so we can see how they rank relative to one another. I can say that since it’s release, Logic has been consistently the highest ranked. And even with the EOL announcement, Aperture continues to do very well.

Hey Franz. I had a quick chat with Philip Hodgetts and anything that he puts up on his blog regarding numbers can be considered official. So you can take the 1.5 million sales, 2 million users to the bank.
Same for the “over 1 million” number. That’s sales, not “seats”, for sure.

FINALLY a workable suggestion for a new name….

Cant use that I’m afraid, you’d get in trouble in the UK

No sig on my posts as it’s apparently very old fashioned

Marcus,
Sure. With citations and attributions.

[Steve Connor] “Cant use that I’m afraid”
Well then I think we have it:
Points or Tangents: The Debate

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Points or Tangents: The Debate”
Sorry about any unintended racist overtones of the previous name….but this one feels redundant: I don’t think there’s any debate that we’re constantly going off on tangents to make our points.
Now if only somebody could put something along those lines in their sig, I think we’ll be all set.
The search continues….

Philip does press briefings just like Post magazine or Larry Jordan. I don’t think his stuff can be considered any less trustworthy.
