The main factors have been that the product had new technolgies (e.g. Consumer DVD Players had DVD drives, + Decoder Chips both which dropped in price by more than half over the initial 12 months) and were not designed as cost efficiently as possible due to need to hit production dates (get out for Christmas with minimum risk, have redesign available ASAP).

No they didn't. I know this because I bought a DVD player 3 weeks after launch and almost bought another one a year later. They started at $500/600 prices and were around $350/450 after one year.
