Microsoft garnered a lot of buzz this week after reports broke the software giant had shipped its 1 millionth Zune — putting it ahead of a company goal set shortly after it launched its MP3 player in November. However, those reports apparently were jumping the gun. Microsoft exec Robbie Bach was erroneously quoted as saying the device had already passed the 1 million milestone. However, Microsoft has confirmed that although it is on schedule to meet its goal of 1 million Zune sales by June 30, the target has not yet been reached.
