And they proved everyone right by killing it. They have the means to keep the product alive and keep trying until they make it, if they really believe in the vision and if it was part of their long term strategy. Look at Microsoft, Bing have been struggling for years but they're still sticking with it. They waited until it was clear that it couldn't be salvaged before killing Windows phone. And XBOX also had a tough start, and was bleeding money for years. Half of the problem is that Google kills product before giving them a chance. The other half is that they launch new product randomly "to see what sticks", instead of focusing on a strategy.
