they won't release sales figures of under selling products (like they boast with iTunes, iPhones, iPods where they tell you how many they sold), so the estimate was along the lines of 400,000 units to date. They were embarasing enough to have Steve Jobs re-label it later down the road as "a Hobby".
The problem is that it's likely losing money, so Apple, like many companies, may be pushing it until it recoupes R&D back from it. If it doesn't do well beyond that point, then they'll probally dump it at no loss, as the refinements are nothing all that special, so still not a large drain.
And they have the money to wait another year or two.
