I could be wrong but I think Sony was probably fairly confident people were going to rush out to buy a $600 PS3 before they launched it too.
Basically, what a corporate official believes is a price that will make consumers happy is not necessarily a price that will make consumers happy. |
Exactly, the percieved value of a product will be different according to which point of view you have (like Sony thinking 600$ for a PS3 was a good deal and consumers not so much). This is kinda what I was getting at as well.
