Companies put pressure on the OEMs to keep prices low because they want to keep their margins high at the increasingly low prices they charge. I think it's important that we realise that a lot of this stems from consumers demanding lower prices, it isn't just corporations being greedy. We may not have asked for it but we do vote with our wallets and when demand inevitably increases with price drops, it's pretty clear to the corporations what it is that we want.
