Microsoft said yesterday that the 64GB version of Surface 2 and the 256GB, 512GB version of Surface Pro 2 were about to be sold out, while the 128GB version was fully out of stock. As the surface generation sales flat, the industry believes that Microsoft's move to "hunger marketing."

Prior to the sale of surface generation, Microsoft will be the first to stand still in Beijing, China, imitating the model of Apple's new sale, the joint retail chain Suning in the early morning to hold a grand conference. The scene also appeared a group of "fans" carrying tents overnight queues. However, in contrast, when the second generation of surface on sale, mainland China's listing time is later than in Europe, the United States market. In this regard, Microsoft Chinese people said that Microsoft attaches great importance to the Chinese market, China has been in the Microsoft's first sales list, the surface in China, the time later is affected by other reasons.
