And say that the reason blackberry's have such a higher failure rate, is due to the business aspect. How many iPhones are actually being used as enterprise devices as opposed to iPhones? The iPhone is hardly a real enterprise device, no matter how hard apple is trying to push it. It lacks true Word processing support, hell even copy and paste is missing. If I had a job that required me to have a reliable phone that fit the needs of my job in the field, I'd trade in my iPhone in for a blackberry or any other smart device.
Consumers are far less to get a phone replaced then a business user. I know people who have iPhones that I would barely describe as usable, but haven't gotten them repaired. Why? Because it's not a necessity to something like their job. Does anyone know what the actual iPhone vs Blackberry/Other Smartphone share is in actual enterprises?
Because people want yo buy the wii, but can not find one. They WANT to give nintendo their money, there's just no wii's for them to get in exchange for the money.
Using your example it'd be the same as someone going to the store to buy an album, only to find out that there is no more copies of the CD left, so instead they buy another bands album. It is money lost because people want to buy the product, but can not so instead they buy a competitors product instead.

. Why don't we stick to that instead of trying to use something that does?
Because that wouldn't make for a very slashdot worthy story, now would it? Useful information finding itself onto the front page? BLASPHEMY!
Thats exactly what I'm wondering... no mention at all in the article.
