Zune Goal: 1 Million by June '07

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6217222.stm

"Microsoft expects to sell more than one million Zune music players by the end of June 2007."

Apparently Microsoft's initial goal for the Zune is to sell at least one million units by June next year. What do you think about this number? Is one million units too small a goal at this stage in the game, or is the Zune team smart by not setting too high a mark? Obviously this isn't even close to iPod's numbers, but it doesn't need to be. Will one million units sold by June be a success for Zune?
