That's a really good point actually. One major reason why WP7 devices are not selling so great yet is because Microsofts hardware requirements for WP7 devices have been extremely high. The advantage is of course that all WP7 devices so far have high-end, top-notch hardware - the downside however is that they are high-price too, making them uninteresting for the majority of customers.
But meanwhile Microsoft is aware of this problem, they have meanwhile lowered the hardware requirements, thus allowing for somewhat cheaper devices as well.
