Hard to tell how significant that news is since Amazon doesn't list any Google Home product.
And with Google Home Mini priced at $29, it's easy to speculate that it sold quite a few as well.
- dawnerd 9y agoYeah, my reaction to the headline was, well of course it was. Amazon was forcing it down your throat on just about every page.
- whoopdedo 9y agoAlso that the Echo can essentially "only" be bought on Amazon. While they advertise them there, a very small supply was sent to stores. Amazon uses the retail space for advertising but they're out of stock which drops you in the lap of Amazon. With other products sales will be split between retail and online (and retail is up about 4% this year). Or something that is only advertised online doesn't attract impulse buyers or people who want to see a demo before they buy.
