Not defending this crap at all if its true. If its true its 100% market manipulation and the feds should crack down on the company; however after my chat with some folks at GamersNexus it looks more like Nvidia is simply redirecting resources. In otherwords cut back production on 30 series and ramp up production on 30 super cards. Simply redirecting resources.
Actually do the math. Nvidia makes more money selling more cards at slightly lower prices than slowing down production to keep prices high. Also investors focus more on # of sales not the sale prices. With these two things in mind actually doing this wouldn’t make much sense from a business perspective. Jay has expressed this many times in the past too.
So what I said above about the super series is most likely the case here. Only time will tell. Just keep in mind that no where near as many people are watching these youtube tech reviewers anymore due to no one can buy what they want. So those guys NEED to pull in viewers to pay their bills. So they will quickly jump on all negative storys even if they are unsubstantiated.
