I still can not grasp why people don't always want the best.
The truth is: some people want the mediocre.
It's not: "be the best you can be" that gets you ahead.
It's: "sell the bet you can sell"
Sony needed to seriously design the PS3 in a less awesome way so that more people could have bought it.
I know... I know, it's a crazy world. Whats worse is that it is snowball effect. Those who couldn't buy a PS3 turned into those that wouldn't because they would never admit that they couldn't.
Less is more.
