Funny since im returning the iPad mini. The screen resolution is piss poor and it was a big mistake of Apple of not putting a retina display in it. When the 2nd generation of the mini comes out and has the retina display, the 1st generation will become worthless.
Just like the iPad 2 became worthless yet it accounts for 40% of all iPad sales

The ipad 2 didnt have any competition at the time. The mini has plenty of competition with much better displays for much less money. Apple would have had a home run with the mini had it had the retina display.
Ipad 2 is still the best Ipad up to date because everything seems to balance out very good eg. the screen, battery, lack of heat problem. Best Tablet at the time it came out and exceed many expectations.
Ipad mini, on the other hand, is overpriced, low resolution screen only good for playing games and im sure people expected more from what they see.

Singh said documents from the patent case between Apple and Samsung showed that the iPad 2 cannibalized approximately 60% of 3rd generation iPad sales, i.e. for every 5 million iPad 2 buyers, Apple lost 3 million 3rd generation. He expects that Apple will see a comparable rate with the iPad mini, which in turn could drive its profits down.

I wonder if the 16gb wifi mini will now drive sales of the 2 down. I suspect the 2 sold so well because it was the cheapest iPad you could buy at a retailer.
I can also see them trotting out the 16gb wifi iP3 as the $399 model once the iP5 is introduced.
I returned my iPad mini today as well to get a iPad 4, main reason was the screen, second reason was the I didn't want the middle device between iPhone 5 and iPad 4.
I honestly don't think that the iPad 2 sales will be going down. Apple set it at a price point that's 'just right' for new buyers. I was at the Apple Store in Walnut Creek and while I was spending time playing with the iPad Mini at least three older people bought the iPad 2. And same thing happened while shopping at the base exchange. They didn't have the mini of the iPad 4 in stock but people still wanted the iPad 2. This is just something I've noticed since the new iDevice releases on Friday.
