People always seem to forget, these "sales scales" are post haste. They're well after the fact and not a clear indicator of future sales. They're used as a style of fear mongering customers into buying products that will 'seem' cool in the coming months, not necessarily what they truly want. This, "Oh, you suck cause we sold 40 billion units in 1973..." means nothing.

What have you got for me lately? And if there is one thing Wall Street has been trying to snake oil everyone on is that they can tell the future. I don't know about you folks, but I've sen their track record here as of recently & it ain't looking so hot...

As for "meeting Apple's prices..." I can guarantee you I can throw together a fragile P.O.S. & slap $1500 to $1800 on it real easy like, just like they can. Now how can they say meet a margin 'and' price? I think it's time for Charlie Sheen to stop writing their PR copy.
