I'm sure the bean-counters have taken into account the elastic demand
concept. Obviously, they have an insufficient basis of comparison since the
gaming industry is not that well organized. They will continue to raise the
price until profits level off due to decreased demand. Then they'll
increase it just enough to stay at the top of the profit curve. It's a
business for crying out loud.
