Many analysts have predicted Google’s Nexus One would sell between 5 and 6 million units by the end of 2010. According to data from app analytics firm Flurry, only about 20,000 Nexus Ones were sold in the first week since launch, January 5 through January 12.

Compared to the 250,000 Motorola Droids or the 1.5 million iPhone 3GS’s this figure is clearly a low number.
