Without a doubt. The price is always relative. It's not the actual price that matters but the perceived value based on the base price.
On another note, the 400,000 quantity - and don't kid yourself, with electronics they made money at $600 - they got an incredible amount of free publicity. This turned into at least a $40-60 million ad campaign. That added another $100 or more to the net bottom line price of the unit.
Great marketing, demand will still be there for some time and the games will just be gravy. It's all about the marketing.
