Obsoletive http://stratechery.com/?p=545 The most revolutionary products - like the iPhone - are not disruptive. They are obsoletive.
@disc1979 sure. We're clearly all saying the same thing.
Are there other examples in "disruption canon" that are high end though?

@thinkdisruptive@disc1979 as acknowledged in the article. I spent three paragraphs clarifying I was talking about what happened to phones -

@thinkdisruptive@disc1979 did the PC sustain typewriters? My point was that what happened didn't fit in the current framework -

@disc1979 me neither. Disruption so elegantly explains the low-end. I'd rather a new word for what happened with the iPhone.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@WaltFrench@monkbent@disc1979 You could argue for a slightly slower version with game consoles - launch price doubled in 2 generations. -
@WaltFrench@monkbent@disc1979 Heck, quadrupled in 3 - basic NES went for $100, SNES went for $200, Playstation was $300 and PS2 was $400. -
@WaltFrench@monkbent@disc1979 And $500 for PS3, and this absolutely hammered Nintendo / Sega (though the former delayed it with the Wii). -

@disc1979@WaltFrench@monkbent Even after inflation that's more than a 2x increase in 2 decades - how is that not a move to the high end?
