Google and Facebook currently have a near-duopoly stranglehold on the mobile ads market. 。

But the trajectory of each company's growth in the sector has worried some of the search giant's investors, who see the social network eating into Google's share of the business. 。

Google is still primarily an advertising business, the largest on the internet, but it also has its fingers in several other pies, including subsidiaries, hardware sales and pet ventures. 。

The company launched a new line of devices earlier this month — including its first-ever smartphone, the Pixel — leading some to even speculate whether Google was turning into a hardware company (It's not, according to these numbers). 。

Google didn't break out specific numbers on pre-order sales for these products, and in many respects it's still too early to gauge their success.。
