It only shows ignorance about business in general and product planning in particular.<br /><br />Whenever a product planner inside Sony or any other serious company, brings an idea to the top managers, he/she has to come up with plausible assumptions based on market studies and socio/economic trends, in addition to actual insights from discussions with their internal & external clients, as to what might be sellable, what would have demand, and in which price segments there are unattended wants/desires.<br /><br />Without any of these, the powers that be would just dismiss the product planner, and his/her outlook wouldn't be very bright inside the division. And don't even get me started with the bill of materials, engineering questions before they dive into months planning, design and vendor negotiations, not to talk about the bean counters, which have seriously taken a toll on Japanese electronics exuberance, to the point CaNikon are now suffering what Sony did between y2k and 2010.<br /><br />All of this just to point out the obvious, really, that no serious company just pulls an idea out of their proverbial asses, simply deciding to put out an expensive, unsellable product, as an exercise in branding grandeur and to prove a point.<br /><br />I've also noticed that most skeptics tend to make the same dismissive comments, in direct proportion and symmetry to their inability to fund the purchase of those expensive toys they're criticizing. I guess it must be therapeutical...(??)<br /><br />I guess the conclusion would be: "...the fact that you can't afford it, doesn't mean there's no market for it or customers with enough dough for it!".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953732317018979267.post-79566087421003145352016-08-27T19:21:30.540-07:002016-08-27T19:21:30.540-07:00impossible for Sony to price their products that m...impossible for Sony to price their products that much....it just wont sell that muchgoodgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311429227363972038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953732317018979267.post-25314689837741400722016-08-27T09:55:48.690-07:002016-08-27T09:55:48.690-07:00If the pricing is correct, then it will be slightl...If the pricing is correct, then it will be slightly out of reach for the average walkman fan.Ascarisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919961371892892332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953732317018979267.post-24557900963498724512016-08-27T09:47:53.167-07:002016-08-27T09:47:53.167-07:00From a trusted Chinese audio media blogger, A high...From a trusted Chinese audio media blogger, A high end headphones around USD 3000, a high end portable player 2000-3000 usd, a desktop headphone amplifier usd 3000.
