| irstupid said: while yes innitial shipments i see as being sold out easily i have to disagree with this thinking You can't just think super short term. Imagine if say PS3 came out at $800. I would bet it woud still have sold initial shipments. systems ALWAYS do. But lets look not too long in the future. PS3 is a perfect example since it had this very problem. EVERYONE else was waiting for a price drop. You can't deny that PS3 would have much much higher numbers now if they were $600 or whatever rediculous price they were starting at. So its a matter of selling a few million at $300, or selling 10 million at $250 in first year. Made up exagerated and no basis numbers there, but you get my point. But hell lets say at $300 they sell 8,000,000 units at $250 they sell 10,000,000 units. Thats roughly the same revenue in the end. BUT at $250 they have 2,000,000 more people BUYING SOFTWARE out there |
Yeah, but you missed the 400,000,000 in profit that you lost, assuming very little profit @ 250
