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.
- scarface74 7y agoMy 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. https://sixcolors.com/images/content/2020/financials-2020-1-4-1.png https://sixcolors.com/images/content/2020/financials-2020-1-... 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.
