Haha, 'allow the product to follow its natural life-cycle'? That's just a fancy way of saying 'let it die'. NVision needs to be more proactive.

I disagree, I think option C is the way to go. Targeting a specific market segment and selling at a higher price could turn things around for Superbox.

I see your point, Lindsey. But I think option D might be the most realistic choice. Let the product run its course.

Pulling out of the market seems like the best move here. The console just isn't selling well anymore, and NVision needs to cut their losses.
