Worrying Windows Phone 7 Sales Figures: Possible Failure

We have to wonder if Microsoft is worried about Windows 7 Phone sales figures? The low numbers show that WP7 could be a possible error, but why? There have been reports that in the first six weeks only WP7 674,000 units were sold, as compared to other phones in the very low indeed.
The increasing number of viable mobile platform is a good scenario for end users, but developers seem to be finding it difficult to target all platforms simultaneously.
The data were collected by the analyst Eldar Murtazin, which PCMag was quick to point out the predicted together by Microsoft and Nokia.
Each platform to bring their own semantics and paradigms for performing the same tasks, leading to much confusion.
The figure looked bigger than that, but you must remember that a number of phones given to employees.
Android, for example, support the development of Java, C and C + + (mostly Java), while the iPhone development can be done in C / C + + / Objective-C (mostly Objective-C).
It is this analyst thinks that Windows 7 Phone is a failure.
Windows 7 Phone however, only support the development by using a form of Silverlight, using C #.
We struggle to know why Microsoft still has not come up with an alternative to Google's Android mobile OS or Apple's IOS? Microsoft was once on top of their game, with Windows Mobile to be a popular mobile OS, but times have changed, and the struggling company is unable to adapt.
No C / C + + code is allowed.
One, we can not be sure of the exact figures, and two, Apple will still laugh at Microsoft's numbers, when they sold more phones iPhone 4 in its first weekend.
This creates an immediate barrier for those with existing code in C / C + + which is absolutely forbidden to make it difficult to share any code at all.
Things are not only bad for WP7, Microsoft seems to have a problem with the Zune player as well.
Microsoft's new online tool helps those who have written IOS software, it essentially translates their IOS API calls to the corresponding Windows 7 Phone API calls.
They are certainly not the company they once were, at least they have the Xbox.
This is not a means to automatically write the code for IOS and get WP7 code in return, is it more of an exploratory tool that can help developers to understand more of the Windows 7 Phone development using its own code as a base
Where do you think Microsoft is wrong? What can they do to get back with the big boys?.
