Out of curiosity, did your parents seek out the Echo or did you buy it for them? I'll believe you regardless, but the comment about you giving one to your sister tends to be more of the story I hear when I hear about niche products "everyone has".
There's a slight difference in a lot of the tech that gets pushed as AppleProduct-Killers in that most of the time the products usually kill the Apple equivalent only on paper; historically, when push comes to shove, it's been iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks people seek out or ask for because they're still considered hot items. This isn't to dismiss the quality of other products, but it's also not the same as everyone wanting them specifically.
- azinman2 10y agoMy parents sought one after seeing/using mine. My brother in law commented a lot on mine after being over recently, and I watched my friend's 3 young girls ask to it play various Kate Perry songs every 7 seconds (they now have one). It's a new, somewhat expensive device, so it'll take time for it to make its way into the mainstream. It's also not for everyone, but it is for a lot of people.
