Well, that's one way of looking at it, and for your sake I hope you're right. However the other way of looking at it is that you're a given, you'll buy pretty much no matter what. It's the guy who isn't buying the book who is limiting the publisher's income. So out will come the spreadsheet doing a cost/benefit breakeven analysis on cutting costs and dropping prices in return for increased volume, and getting that guy to open his wallet.
