if you are making a profit on each unit. the speed at which prices erode is 
what makes it a dangerous thing to do because once you start discounting, 
it's how thin a profit margin you are willing to work with. price erosion is 
about 25-30% a year right now for P&S digital cameras. it's starting to drop 
faster in DSLRs now.

Market share is a good thing, is it not?  Greater market share means 
greater financial resources to dominate the market with a broader 
selection of product.  Market share is the golden goose.  And one way to 
grab it is to incentivize large buyers to buy your product.
