The Moto X and Google's own Nexus series appear to be pretty high end. I don't think this is their plan at all.

the moto x and Nexus line has always been considered mid tier, not the latest everything and many compromises made but not low end.

Every Nexus except the S and Galaxy had the best SOC available at the time (The one and 4 had them before any other android phone). The Galaxy was the first 720p smartphone. They are high end, just not at all costs.

"has always been considered"

by whom? "mid tier" is a very generic term. Most critiques and opinions I know of consider these devices best in class.

Motorola doesn't manufacture the Nexus phones.
