I highly doubt Glass will be hit. I'll be surprised if it even reaches half a million of sales any point soon. I don't think Google will get richer with Glass even with this insanely high profit margin.

Thanks ams963... I'm not surprised that Google is disputing the numbers.  Who wouldn't? If it does turn out to be true, maybe they can claim "plausible deniability".
If true theu are sure to revert to admitting it, but claim R&D costs were so high that the current price tag is needed to recoup expenses LOL
