No doubt, we are spoilt. Just spend a little while trying to model - it slow going for me, not just because I've other interests, it realy is hard work - and lets not mention UV mapping! Fortunately, e-frontier do seem to have their heads screwed on regarding their market and how to grow it and profit from it. Being Japanese and with the growing integration of Shade, the Asian market looks set to grow. With their fair pricing for Europe (which is a breath of fresh air in this industry), they should be growing their markets here as well. The more Poser users there are, the larger the market for products and, we can hope, the greater the sales for those creating them. This is actually helped by Content Paradise, what seemed like such a bad idea in Poser 5 has been rather nicely executed this time around, with the CP newletter drawing peoples attention to new products, such as Apollo Maximus and even the Wardrobe Wizard, which isn't even available through CP. Lets not forget DAZ either, Studio may come in for a lot of stick, not always justly, but it is bringing new shoppers to the market. If this trend continues, the home 3d content market could grow very nicely.
