I agree that $2300 is a steep price for an experiment but I'm not sure you would want to base your price on the cost of production - why is that any better than any other arbitrary price?

Why not follow the model used by consoles and cell phones? Sell the hardware at a loss and take a 30% cut of software sales.

That won't work here, nobody would buy software for this thing because it's really underwhelming.

This would be really sensible especially giving the funding they've been floated - that said maybe their debtors are coming home to roost and they've been given pressure to avoid setting any more money on fire.

Doesn't that depend on how big of a loss they are willing to take? Say they started selling to developers for $1000 with the promise that the price to consumers would be $99 six months from now. I think that would ignite a lot of development.

That's like launching a game console with no games on launch day then. Even worse of a blunder from Magic Leap.
