Way, way back, many moons ago, there are a product launch of the
second version of an application. It was $1k+ (when that was still
a lot for a PC application) and that price was based on expected
sales. Sales boomed and the price dropped to $350 (IIRC) and
sales boomed again. Most who paid $1k+ understood what
happened and accepted that the price drop was because they
paid more.
The product - Paradox. The company - Borland. I thought that
they realised that they can drop the price and make more money.
