First News about Pegasos 2

[DaveP]

Will they keep the name pegasos tho ... what with the trademark infringement.

[DaveP]

EXACTLY Warface. Isn't it irritating when people drop in a thread and do something like that?

If you can't point it out to someone in words,  demonstrate.

QED.  ;-)

[DaveP]

That WOULD be funny ;-) I could go around calling you a faithful follower of The Name cult ;-)

[DaveP]

Making some serious cash? How do you know this isn't a loss leader?

[DaveP]

> How do you know this isn't a loss leader?

Why do you think it's some loss? Because someone
once said that "a PPC mainboard with a G4 CPU can
never ever be available for 499EUR"?

Who said I think its "some loss"? Don't build a glass house on thin air either ( your second sentence ).

[DaveP]

At home now :-)

Just catching up. See you are making publicity hay while the sun shines with the trademark thing ;-)


Got a deadline on Friday so Ill try to limit my coffee breaks to just two a day ;-)

@Redrumloa

Didn`t know Genesi did keyboards.

PS, a clue, we are talking about Genesi's Pegasos II which hasn't been releasing and with all of these things pre-announcing the price point and specifications is called in marketing terms "spoiling".

Mind you if you nip over to MorphZone you can read Joanna being insulting about the average Amigans attention span. Maybe shes right.

[DaveP]

@Joanna

Agreed. Its spoiling, but Im not complaining I'm explaining for the chap at the back.

As for release dates, I won't take you up on that bet because frankly I don't know which way things could go ;-)

[DaveP]

Maybe the DMA bug is trashing some of the letters as he types ;-)

[DaveP]

Quite. Remember how unimpressive it was when people used to say about PhaseV "they made a loss on every board" as if they were heroes for being incompetant business people?

I don't know if this is or is not a loss leader for the higher priced Pegasuari.

I have my suspicion this spoiler is intended to price Eyetech out of the market.

[DaveP]

Just speculating greenboy :-) Ill take your word for it. :-)

[DaveP]

@JoannaK

No. That looks like conjecture based on speculation so he doesn't need to produce numbers.

And it doesn't take a genius to realise that

IF company sells product at loss THEN it will eventually run out of cash reserves

I mean I could go to the bother of posting a whole bunch of case studies in related fields ( although apparently PhaseV is a good close to home example ).

[DaveP]

The SG&A (Selling, General, and Administrative expenses) are another subject. But, this is done with our discretion and with a certain budget in mind.

Well in business they are all part of the same subject. When stuff clears the sales ledger it is USUALLY used to pay towards all time on account as well as material and production costs.

That is, if commodity was single point of income, if something else is cross subsidising part of the expenses assotiated with admin and sales then it is arguable if you could describe that as a loss leader or a subsidised product.

Either way, risky game in this small market IF the expenses are not balanced by the income, but then you have already played that risk game with Peg 1 and "April" oui?
