As always, we have to take all these surveys with a grain of salt and it is that people change their opinion from one day to the next regarding the purchase of their products. In this case, what happens with the surveys that are carried out in the launches of the iPhone or even sometimes of the iPad or Mac comes to mind, which they are totally respectable but then they are not fulfilled at all.
Kantar, conducted a survey in the UK and it appears that About 130.000 of those surveyed were planning to buy the new HomePod from Apple. The same question was asked of the British when the Amazon Echo was launched and their response was that more than half a million said they would buy it.

The Google Home or the Home mini itself, also have their share of the market and it seems that the option that Apple customers have in front with The HomePod is liked and liked a lot more than the polls predicted.
Then in all cases it is necessary to contrast the times in which the commercialization started, the dates and even the price of one and the other, but what is clear is the HomePod has just come out and it did it after the Christmas campaign, something that we are sure disrupted the purchases of users who expected it before. Even for Apple itself it is a problem so it may be that the following surveys or figures are now inclined towards the side of the Cupertino guys, since the product is already available and more details are known. It is also necessary that they begin to be commercialized in all countries including ours, but that is another matter.
