About total console : Yes, console are penetrating new markets. Did they increase the market by 80%, to 335 Million ? I don't think so.
In my own family, last gen we have 7 unit. This gen I have 8 unit. The GLS might be too high, but not ridiculously high (as in 100%+ overpriced), since ridiculous price will always attract high networth player. The bigger the profit margin is, the more they are willing to suffer the risk.
Like vGInfidel said, I have been playing here for less than 1 year (I think I started to be active, playing almost daily, around Dec 4, 2007, so I am around 11 month active). I didn't see any value for 1 year future just for the console, since 1 year is too long. If I want short term investment, I would just invest in future.
I think the source of all of our GLS problem is the Time Trust DKP. Like me, most player would HATE to "lose" that money, and would rather invest it in some stock (driving up their prices) rather than let it "vanish". Even if I am wrong, and my "time trust DKP" stock suffer adjustment to reflect better price, I would still get some money out of my "time trust DKP".
Elminate the Time Trust DKP, and you would have solved the GLS overprice problem. However, that create another problem : How to made player visit simEx everyday ? Time Trust is the one thing that made player visit simEx everyday (I know that is the reason I visit simEx everyday, and I think lots of other player have the same reason). Since I don't have solution to the new problem, I couldn't suggest removal of Time Trust DKP. Maybe someone else have an idea ?
