Well, as of late Friday (1/4) Amazon has finally said exactly how many devices have been sold that have its voice assistant, Alexa, built in — and it's a lot.
In a new interview with The Verge that published late Friday afternoon, Amazon's SVP of devices and services, Dave Limp, revealed that more than 100 million devices with Alexa built into them have been sold so far. Up until now, they had been dodging the numbers question- FOR YEARS!
Limp didn't break out specifics on how much of each device has been sold — for instance, we don't know how many Echo Dots have been sold, although Limp told The Verge that the number has exceeded the company's expectations and the Dot is now sold out for the rest of the month.
