| Soundwave said: It's actually not smart to low ball one of your product's sales forecasts on purpose, because it will weigh down your stock price for no reason other than a short lived shot at overperforming one year later (by which time you will have needlessly weighed down your stock for no reason). |
Yup, people need to understand the difference between being conservative (which I think is the case) and intentionally lowballing estimates. Companies base production and ordering off of their internal estimates so lowballing would not really benefit at all. Oh, and they probably know MK8's pre-order numbers and they might not be good.
