I don't think *hardcore* fans are the main market either.  I think *fans*
are.  Maybe I'm just out of touch.  Perhaps there is actually a huge
market lurking out there for impulse buyers who'll snarf up product by
someone they only vaguely remember, or who have never heard of.  Perhaps
we are all sheep, and if Sony command us "thou shalt buy BOC" we defer to
their superior judgement and robotically rifle our wallets for the
requisite cash...

Cheers,

Paul.
