Your response is EXTREMELY long and doesn't reflect history.  Continue to hold on to the wrong theory.  Watch history fulfill itself, again due to the reasons I mentioned.  You forget "average Joe" is the epitome of simplistic rationales when it somes to tech shopping.  I've lived through those time periods and watched them unfold too many times.

You are free to flee the conversation, but until you get some kind of grasp on what drives buying trends your claim of "history, history" means absolutely nothing, because you don't know why history went the way it did.

Sorry Khuutra you are totally wrong.

Price is obviously one of many deciding factors but in a recession it is the only factor ....

If you are as clued up about the economy as you claim to be then you know this is undeniably true.

Nnngh. Don't make me get the Luthor picture again. I'll do it. I'm not shy about it.

I understand that price is a very important factor, but it's price differentials  versus perceived value differentials here. Price is not t he only factor, even in a recession like this one. If it were, blu-ray would not be growing, but it is. The Wii would not be curb stomping the 360, but it is. Wii Fitt would not be selling better than execise DVDs, the Elite and Pro packages of the 360 wouldn't be selling at all, on and on and on.

It's about values, not just price.
