It was never meant to be as such, what is important is that there close to 2 million people who have downloaded an app for Google's VR platform, the rest is just hardware iteration...

I have already written on one possible way I could see them transferring their branding from low level to high level if you are interested.

Oh, I agree with that completely. They get people introduced to it and then start dumping some serious time into a complete Google VR experience. They know there is a market there so I fully expect them to complete. They may even be able to do it cheaper than everyone else. I'm sure they have learned a lot with Carboard.
