Lets supposed the true sales were 50/50. That would indicate a majority of google people are just buying the equipment and not ever using it.

- dragonwriter 9y agoThe true sales of “voice enabled speakers” could be 100% Amazon, and they could still not lead the “voice assistance” marketplace, or reach the claimed 70% of people. The big issue isn't confusing usage rates with market position (those probably are close, though in theory they could be divergent), it's confusing the voice assistance market with the voice-enabled speaker market (and then also confusing the current market for those products with the whole population.) Voice assistance isn't about selling dedicated voice devices, it's about voice-enabled services, for which dedicated devices are simply one gateway. Dedicated devices are a small share of voice assistant usage, far behind smartphones, and even behind the combined category of tablets and general purpose computers [0].
