Quite frankly, I consider Google Chromebook Pixel -similar to Microsoft Surface Pro- more a case study than an aggressively marketed product.
I don't think, Microsoft or Google actually believe in huge sales figures.
It probably only lays the ground for other products.
In Google's case, one of the main arguments against Chromebooks in the past probably was "cheap" and "not stylish/cool". So Google with their own product line demonstrates, Chromebooks very well can be stylish and cool.
Maybe similar to the automotive industry. BMW, Mercedes, Audi and the likes still make their main profits with their "classic" business of limousines. But they offer cheaper, family-friendly series as well. So they can appeal to all kinds of customers.
As an early adopter, I love the concept of Chromebook Pixel.
But I don't expect, seeing many of those on the train or in hotels...
