Reply #42: Controlling production sets prices

[sandnsea]

The whole purpose of corporate control in the first place. They roll out a product and set the price very high, the wealthy buy it. They set it a little lower, to lure in the crowd that has to have the latest thing. Then they start selling features and put it at a price that the top 50% can afford. And guess what. This all happens over the course of about 10 years and the cost of the product didn't shift at all. I know this from building computers. They control the production to control the price and profit. They've got it all down to a fine science and rake in the dough, product after product.
