because, to put it bluntly, people are status and trend whores who wouldnt be caught dead with last years model. its far more about fashion than the tech itself. all that matters is that its new and popular. you want to be cool dont you?
technology=penis size. theres no real reason to buy an 80" tv other than bragging rights: look what I have.
i hate to be so blunt but thats what it boils down to. peer pressure and fashion shape more purchases, especially in tech, than anyone cares to admit. theres no real reason to buy a kindle 4 if youve got a kindle 3 but plenty of people tripped over themselves to do so.
maybe 1 in 10 actually care about specs. personally i like to know what something can do now right out of the box rather than what the specs say it can theoretically do.
