The Pico never really took off, honestly. I doubt this thing is going to fly off the shelves or anything.
Idk about took off but it was a successful product by reasonable standards. I have a few of them and chose it for a product that ended up going nowhere. That was partly because of hardware add-ons available for the pico but not for comparable boards. The existence of that 3rd party hardware ecosystem itself shows that the pico did ok.
They apparently sold 4 million units of the pico family. Given the product, I'd say that isn't amazing, but not a failure, either.
