The more direct competition is the Galaxy Tab, which apparently sold 1 million units in the US in the last 2 months.
Also, due to major screwing the pooch with Nook availability last year -- and the need to have multiple units sitting in thousands of stores, rather than sitting in warehouses -- B&N needs to far outpace the expected demand. This is Riggio trying to assure people there won't be shortages this year.
As such, if you're going to measure its success, you have to wait and see how many actually sell as opposed to how many B&N ordered.

actually that's 1 million worldwide, stateside here the Galaxy Tab has a rather lukewarm reception at best, mostly because of the Phone carries price tag and contracts are too expensive.
Hence the Nook Color being a very very nice and attractive alternative to the android crowd.
