You are absolutely correct. Economies of scale have made the PC industry what it is. This is most evident in the case of hardware development (which of course, GVP is keenly involved in). Hardware development is EXPENSIVE. Contributing factors are board prototype runs, testing equipment, regulatory issues (FCC, UL, etc.), and the requirement of thousands of components. Compare this with software! Anyway, we at GVP are somewhat lucky in being the biggest Amiga vendor, but we could probably bring SIGNIFICANTLY better prices to the market if it were SIGNIFICANTLY bigger. I don't foresee this situation changing, however. We're not that psyched about doing add-ons for the game machine! Paul.
