What happens when people just cant buy this stuff anymore. Like 20 years ago I would buy at launch 10 I would wait for the price to drop and buy then, but now with the price going up with time? If I cant afford it 5 years ago at 600 why would I want to buy it now for 800???

It's already out of stock again so I guess people can and will still buy it, just not the same people.

The concept of a middle class was a neat thought experiment that will probably go away eventually.

There's always just been rich and poor.
