Quoted from Pin_Fandango:I think it is time to end the trim level BS, make one machine like in the old days. The trim level thing is BS and only adds fuels to pinflation.
Plus it delays production between models, little batch of PRO's for operators first, after comes LE, than another batch of PRO's, after that premiums, than back to another batch of PRO's and after premium, after that last call for PRO's and Premium's. That is only for one release, now juggle from titles to titles, and backlog.
Employees must be completely lost sometimes and you lose efficiency with one week of this, one week of that. That defeats the hole point of standardization. I understand that they have shortage of materials right now, but this on and off game between models have been there way before the pandemic. Since they introduced pro's, premium and LE.
They were fine for a time but now demand is just too strong and they are just leaving money on the table and people cancel their pre order for the next shiny thing. That is not good business when you cannibalise you own products.
