If something sells better doesn't mean it should be more expensive than another product which may be better spec, and it's only natural things drop in price so not sure what the relevance of that is either. As for physical copies of games it's often the same with steam. It's because the price of a physical copy drops faster as stores need to get rid of stock. I agree though with the examples you gave with computers and form factor but it's the form factor you are paying for.
PS3 was $600 USD - more overseas - when later they reduced it to be competitive. PSP Go was the one I was referring to - smaller screen, no media, the games were download only and they were still full-priced (in some instances MORE expensive for some 1st party games) and it was more expensive than the better selling Nintendo DSi.
Both are sold at a loss - they put too much money (and faith) into the Cell processor and the chip foundry for that. Passed that along to us consumers as long as possible.
The Vaio X was a lower spec'd machine, sold at higher prices... all because it was thin (think MacBook Air, but worse priced).
Sony has done the same thing for almost all of their newest stuff for the last decade. Google TV, price drops continue (ok, they're just not selling). Vaio S series... price drops, too expensive for the specs. PSP handheld, sold at a loss, now almost $130 less than it was when it was originally sold (and finally selling well).
Sony phones, Sony computers, Sony BD-ROMs, they price stuff high... way too high at first.

Seriously?
Yeah... Sony and Nokia are the absolute ****ing best at pricing everything. $749 for an unsupported phone with no future is excellent pricing...

From website above:
Update: Some people will say that its unfair to compare existing products with upcoming ones, and I agree. So for some perspective, as @coolkamio informs me on Twitter, iOS 5 manages a score of 304 + 9].
So it appears that IOS 5 has higher score unless the bonus points mean something else. FYI n9 had 257 + 14 bonus points. But honestly, I do no understand what the numbers really mean except higher is better. Perhaps someone can explain significance.
Significance explained on scroll.

Microsoft XBOX 360 sold more, was cheaper than the Sony PS3.
Sony Vaio X was outsold by most anything but the Dell Adamo XPS - that sold horrible.
Nope. Not seeing it. Better priced... no. Sony's prices stuff too expensive. Nokia... same.
