Million Dollar Bet

[rahulgarg]

i am just wondering why "3000" was chosen as the batch size. i can only think of 3000*330= $1m (approx).
Coincidence? Craigix planning on running away with $1m ?
No offence meant .. just a random question.

edit : Maybe move this to off-topic ?

why not?

probably the minimum cost effective quantity, needs to be done in bulk and i'm guessing 3000 was the most convenient

 

[Game_over]

3000 is a recurring number that the gp32 and gp2x was able to surpass if Im not mistaken, this definitely is'nt the first time I heard that exact number pop up over the years in regards to units sold.

I doubt it... 3000*200(it's UK based!) = 600000GBP (sorry my keyboard is spanish and I cba going to character map) so there's nothing too significant, other than it's a nice round number... and that figure is just the return, not the profit... so hardly running away with $1m ...

Because 3 is my lucky number.

I figured it might be a reference to "300".

LOL
But, 3000*330=only $990000, not $1m. That's why idea with "$20 to development fund" was born )))))))))))

I think it's cause Craig was afraid of what might happen if they produced OVER 9000 in the first batch.

:lol:

:lol:

WHAT 9000?!
that would be 2.5 millon, the same price as a small jet.

Over 9000 never gets old does it ?

 

[craigix]

3000 is the minimum number most mass production orders can be.

Damn .. got a real answer thus killing speculation

I was just about to make an "OVER 9000!" joke...

In all seriousness, if something like 9001 were produced, you would have all of 4chan on your side.

And that would be a good thing :blink:

 

[palmertech]

Well... They are a cancer upon the the Net as a whole, but considering the ability 4chan has to make huge, viral deals out of anything, it might be funny.

Besides, the more buyers, the merrier!

 

[pcklee123]

wonder what is the preorder count now? If the count is more than 3000 would craigix consider getting more made?
