I was just looking over past UA press releases and found one from (10) months ago indicating that over 20,000 UAD-1 cards had been shipped:

I am sure it is more like 25,000-30,000 by now. Plus all the added plugin sales. Just in the last (2) years alone, nearly 13,000 plugin orders placed. Many of those were probably multiple plugins on one order. When the online plugin shop first opened (2) years ago, I was one of the first to place an order (for the Fairchild 670), my order number was #68. I ordered the Multi-Band a couple of weeks ago and my order was #12,792.
I am glad to see UA doing so well with the UAD-1. Profitablity means on going R&D and helps insure current users against obsolesence. I think the Roland & Neve partnerships are indicative of the UAD-1's immense success and future opportunities.
I remember another DSP card, the Korg Oasys PCI, which went down in flames after lackluster sales and was abrubtly discontinued, after only 2.5 years. I still have my Korg Oasys, in an old PII 333 PC. The last driver update was for Win98.
