The key is volume, unless you are selling enough units to be able to make bulk purchases on components, costs are usually going up all the time (labour, delivery etc.) Unless of course you are discounting to make way for new products. Since Slim have announced the Transporter well before shipping, I wonder of they will fall under the "Osborne" effect, and I don't mean grow long black hair, wear tinted glasses and develop Brummie accents. I know it's an urban myth (it was bad management that killed Orborne, not annoucing next gen products too early), but will announcing a new product before shipping damage existing sales of the SB3? What if the product slips, as many do?
