>Why should a product judge whether its successful or not based on other product.

I think it's his intent to show that nobody outside of tech really cares about this.

>Google plus has some of the most tech savvy users and level of conversation is usually very high.

The 'tech savvy' users are everywhere. What it shows here is what everyone already knew: that much of Google+ consists of Google fans.

I'm eager to see when there is a #boycottGoogle or #boycottMotorola for the Xbox ban.

On the the day New IPad launched , Ipad trended on Google for whole weekend - mostly with people sharing pics of iPad and taking about gorgeous retina display.


Being a fan of Google doesn't mean that you're disinterested in a competitor's product. I'm sure there were Apple forums that had a lot of comments (both positive and negative) regarding the events held by MS and Google.


I will agree with you here about being fan of multiple product. But it should be noticed that when you have millions of users (based on Google IO numbers about G+) biased voices are usually stifled and general consensus emerge.


It wasn't just XBox. It was Windows 7 as well.

And I am pretty sure there are a lot of companies e.g. Sony, Sharp, Canon, Nikon, Facebook, Netflix who also must be very anxious at thought of Motorola filing injunctions against them.
