doesnt always matter if its cheaper to produce... if the route to producing, hiring engineers and such, cost a fortune... then production cost won't be the deal.. gotta take in play the cost to create this idea as well.. and if they had to keep paying these people paychecks for something that took too long to make.. they gotta make up that margin back
