Now i made this conclusion based on this link:
500,000 from Late August to November.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/12/5097532/moto-x-only-500000-devices-reportedly-sold
900,000 in quater 1 2014 globally
http://www.cnet.com/news/motorola-to-shutter-texas-factory-building-moto-x/
Which equal 1.4 millions devices on Q1 2014,Q3 2013.
Now, Motorola or google want to sell it Texas factory what will the Moto x2 or Moto x+1 will look like?
As the deal is over by December of this year.
You guys posted and telling me or informed us with your opinion or conclusion to Motorola second devices that sell over million that they posted in sales figures since the original droid.
Samsung seeks over 10 mil and HTC half of that with much greater margins. It's all business, btw I don't think Google ever intended to ever keep Moto they just wanted the patents.

Google used Motorola I never wanted them to purchase in 2011. And , approval the purchase in 2012.
That the was the reason why they cancel HDMI and physical keyboard on their device too.

Actually if you think about it Moto was already doing horrible before Google bought them, it was only time before they cut jobs to stay alive. Google made smart decisions imo not everything Google does is good and Google didn't do this for charity but I believe it made Motorola phones matter again, before they bought them not too many people even considered Motorola as a potential phone.

Just remember that an Android phone has more power than a jail-broken apple phone/device. Think about it this way, if they don't patch stuff like that... other countries like china will use them against us and attack the USA. They must patch. When someone can HACK A PHONE THROUGH A SIMPLE website, that isn't very secure. When we do it, it takes actually doing it manually. knowing what we are doing sortof.
Well, i for one, am sad to see this new patch ruin jailbreakme.com. I used to have so much fun wandering through the Apple stores in Dallas and quickly jailbreaking all their devices.

I can pretty much 100% guarantee you that the average selling price of the iPhone is significantly higher than the average selling price of Android phones. This includes highend phones like the EVO, Droid x, etc. The iPhone 4 is always $200 (same as the regular retail price of high end Android phones at launch) subsidized in the US and constant at similar price over seas. How many sales, first and third party promotions, and drops in prices happen to highend Android phone? At times you can get highend Android phones for free or a couple of cents! Then add big selling low end lines like the Optimus One, and smaller lines are even more popular in low income countries. Look at what's selling there.
Yeah, that's what I thought, you again fail at thinking things through.

Google buys Motorola Mobility, will this mean that the Atrix and other Moto phones will get faster updates?
And possibly run better being that they contol the hardware and software like apple and Iphones?

2) it is a possibility we'll get updates faster, but they said Google and Motorola mobility will act as seperate companies

Yes that has a lot to do with it but its also to compete with Apple. If you the OS and hardware work together it creates a seamless design. Thats why Apple does so well with the iphone.

Well, time to apply for a job at Sprint.
I'm sure everyone remembers this rumor from about six months ago. Where manufacturers could develop a nexus phone as long as it meet the requirements. Even though the s4 isn't labeled a nexus it meets the other requirements. Do you think that other manufacturers will follow suit and offer pure Google phones? I wouldn't mind seeing a dev HTC one.

What you mean by other requirements? There are no requirements I know of. Nexus is a brand of products which are built for Google by OEMs as per Google's specification and requirement. S4 isn't built the way Google wants e.g it had hardware buttons and also carries menu button Google let go 2 years back.
This isn't the first time such a thing had happened. 2 years back Google gave Samsung tab to IO attendees with AOSP on it. About a year back Google did an exercise of trying to support Xperia S in AOSP headed by JBQ himself. The only difference is that this is the first time Google is selling such a device via Play Store.

Because Motorola is owned by Google, they gave up their rights to make Nexus devices. Each year manufacturers bid against one another to see who will make the next Nexus, and it wouldn't be fair to others if Google used Motorola because they own them.

Even though Motorola is owned by Google, they're still two different companies. Motorola does not own the Nexus line, it's still a Google device. So Motorola will continue to make their phones, I.e. Droid and whatever else, with little involvement from Google.

So what you are saying is: Google owns the nexus line, Google owns the Motorola but somehow Motorola doesn't own the nexus line.... It kinda contradicts the fact that Google owns the Motorola but on the other hand it doesn't.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Many companies purchase other companies, but continue to run them as separate entities. Google put some of their people into management positions at Motorola, but have yet to swallow the company whole. As far as the Nexus line, Google wanted to keep its stable of manufacturer partners happy by keeping the bidding process open to all. Motorola is free to bid along with other companies, but will receive no special consideration.

Patents simple as that.
Google now has thousands of patents that it can defend its self with or use as a bargaining tool.
I think it's totally possible that Motorola will make a nexus phone in the near future.
There's no reason why they wouldn't.
Maybe Motorola is trying to keep a small footprint right now because they want to gauge the success of the x phone first.
The markets are already flooded with android phones. LG probably isn't going to make much profit on a phone without an established carrier to help market it. You have to also consider that the phone carriers have new plans that allow people to upgrade their phones more frequently. This makes a non-contract phone even LESS attractive.
