Looking on the bright side, there's a number of apps which have sold 10,000+ copies.
Also the market has only been open less than 3 months, only 2 phones (one for only 2 weeks) and market currently only open to limited countries. There are market issues that need to be addressed - screenshots, SD card storage, download issues, etc, but I don't think its all that bad.
