    To me it means what it says… They had some expectations and they didn’t reach it.

    At the end I guess is open to interpretation, but expectations sometimes are out of reality… some times they go higher either to sell it to inversors or they simply over estimate…

    I wouldn’t go as far as reading as them saying it didn’t sell well, more like they expected more…

    But Ok I admit it could be considered as such…

    Well…I mean…that was mainly because of the lack of stock… well and scalpers didn’t help.

    Like there was giveaways to get the opportunity to buy them… yeah sure they sold plenty but some people had to wait a long time to be able to get one and it wasn’t because people went crazy buying them alone.

    But yes it sold well with that I agree. That said nobody said it didn’t sell well here so not sure where your comments comes from.



  • Well actually you got confused as I am not the guy who did say “disk drives”, that’s somebody else.

    In any case I understood you as talking about the non BluRay indicating they are common in builds.

    I mentioned BluRays because that’s the only one that nowadays could make sense to have and could be common to add to a build, but not even that is being used commonly due to being expensive and basically only used by movies and those are usually played elsewhere.

    I honestly don’t think most people would bother building a new PC with a normal disk drive, they are completely useless. New games/software/video/music are digital or use BluRays, except music I guess. And any other uses has been replaced with external USB drives or other mediums as those are better in many ways. So unless you have some specific need it’s worthless and if you have a need a external USB disk drive is more practical.
