Quoted from CrazyLevi:You and tons of other people seem to be excited to buy Foo.
But Do Stern and JJP really need FOMO to stay in business? I think they can sell plenty of games without people freaking out on onsale day. FOMO never really drove their business model much.
Probably not.... but those of us that have seen business cycles know the pattern
1- Demand is hot and inventory is nopn-exisitent
2- Prices increase
3- company thinks it will continue for ever - they expand capacity
4- the increase in price + the extra capacity means that supply overshoots demand
5- extra inventory at all levels.... prices are cut and/or businesses downsize/right-size/exit
6- supply-demand balance - maybe at the elevated prices... but with fewer units built
we are somewhere between steps 3 and 4
This isn't just pinball... it is almost every business at some point
