Well, considering that the gold model completely sold out before everything else, one could argue that the theory already turned out to be true.

The counter-argument would be that of course it sold out the fastest, since not many were made available. It's just different sides of the same thing and the result is identical: the gold models sold out.

I don't look at it as a conspiracy, though. It's a perfectly valid marketing strategy, and I don't feel that it's ethically or morally problematic.
