Re: Why don\'t more companies do this when they launch a new console?
Alot of people purchasing the PS3 early were doing so exclusively for clout - it was rare. When you increase the initial price to $2000 to immediately level out supply/demand, the console is no longer 'rare' - it's just overpriced. You can simply go walk into a store and buy one if you're a fool. See, for example, the history of the Neo Geo. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
