It has nothing to do with marketing and everything to do with market.
A very high tech piece of equipment and a small market will by default always be expensive. Its amazing that they are available at all, for any price and thats the accomplishment.
On the other hand I'm using a massively high-tech piece of equipment to type this post, state of the art, and affordable, but its also got a huge market and competition so prices will be lower.
Were there only one computer manufacturer and only 10,000 potential buyers this computer would cost what a Cray used to.
