Sorry, but obviously not even Microsoft with its stash of money can't guarantee something will be success story, so we can't either.

We are perfectly capable to make this device, we can't guarantee it will be something millions will end up buying.

And the ecosystem is important for easy of creation or porting stuff (not just code-wise, but how you approach to such things) and also as I mentioned here - we also plan to work on utilizing Android support via anbox or shashlik which could potentially remove that gap (also people need to realize that Google is developing only handful of apps, those millions come from third-party devs).
