Sony sold 47 million floppies in 2002, and 12 million in 2009 according to this article. When I started Uni in 2005 USB flash drives were all the rage, cheaper by volume than floppy disks at the time. So why on earth were 1 in 4 floppy users in 2002 still using it in 2009? I thought the figure would be much less, maybe 4.7 million. Unless Sony were one of the only companies still making them and took over sales for many other firms.
