Yes, that is right at the $1.000 price point. The open price under the picture however is an indication that the ¥98.000 is more like a sticker price for a car, I would expect it at around ¥75.000 when it comes out and then 10.000 less after six months. |
All these people saying that the price will probably go down don't consider 2 things.
1. The Sony DPT-S1 is only produced in small quanitities for the business market
2. For the price to go down there must be high sales
Which seems very unlikely, given the chosen market sector (B2B), the market region (japan) and the small quantity produced.
More likely than not this will end up as a very expensive niche product.
