A lower price means LESS PROFIT PER UNIT, which means you have to sell MANY MORE units 'JUST' to make the same profit. To sell a lot more units it takes up a lot more time, which means there is NO TIME to advance technology, because you're too busy handling the increased sales.
If it worked the way you suggest, why haven't the BIG US companies spent ANY time & money on R&D, as they should certainly have FAR MORE resources than we should have?
In my company I manage to maintain a good balance between sales, profit and the expenditure on R&D, which is why my company is the longest established nitrous company in the world, that has been owned and run by the same person throughout that time and why we manage to continuously produce more technological advances in ONE YEAR than ALL the other nitrous companies put together over a 50 year period.
BTW if you aren't well enough informed to be aware of the above FACTS and you're inclined to believe that some other company has either been established and in the same hands for longer than mine, I'd be happy to prove you wrong. Furthermore, if you 'think' some other company has made more technological advances than ours, I'd like to hear what examples you feel that applies to, as I'd love a good laugh right now.
FYI ANY new technological advance in ANY product is initially sold at a MUCH HIGHER price than old technology and then the price falls, as the cost of the R&D spent on that product is recouped over time. EVENTUALLY that's what will happen with our products but it will be a while yet.
