This is more of a reply to your child comment about Pixel sales, but because this is a day old and unlikely to get any attention or replies as is. I’m posting this here:

I’ll prob geek out and look this up later. I’d be interested in the difference of products in their categories between the major tech companies:

Google: Pixel, Nest, Google Home, Chrome stick

Microsoft: Xbox, Surface tablets/laptops, upcoming Surface phone

Amazon: Ring doorbell, Ring’s other stuff, Alexa Echo/Dot, all the other Alexa devices, Fire tablets, Fire stick

Facebook: Portal, Oculus

Just to throw Apple in here outside their core: HomePod, ?

I’m sure I’m missing some things. Perhaps a company or two as well. Anyone know of anything else or something I wrote down wrong?

There’s also differences between market share and profitability/losses. Apple makes money with [almost] all hardware. While I think Alexa devices don’t make a profit though seem pretty dominant.

My point isn’t so much that the Pixel itself has a low sales volume, but more that Google is almost completely reliant on advertising for profits despite their “other bets” for over two decades.

Compare that to Apple’s product mix.

If you go more fine grained on wearables, it’s estimated that Apple Watch and headphones taken individually or both larger than the iPod ever was.
