My 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.

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.
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.
