It took Google a year to sell over a million pixels when they released, they didn't even hit 600,000 sold in their first 3 quarters (looking at all of North America) - https://coolest-gadgets.com/google-smartphone-statistics/

So 600,000 people putting down a $100 deposit for a terrible phone is definitely suspicious.
