Supposedly Apple sold 23M iPads in Q1 2013, or 250K/day [1] but Google sold 4.6M Nexus 7s in 2012 [2].

So what? Has it ever been the purpose of them to sell as many Nexus devices as their competitors and thereby risking to alienate their partners? (Samsung, HTC, Lg and so on)

It was nevertheless a successful hardware product because users and reviewers loved the Nexus devices and they sold everything they produced.

So, you joined this community nine days ago and thought a great way to begin would be with a ridiculous and absurd lie about Nexus sales?

Regardless, it's hardly clear why a community of people intent on founding new businesses would consider a history of successful product launches all that important.
