Well, if it gets expensive (say, anything over $400), yeah the market will shrink a bit. If it tops $1000.00, then I doubt the pros will instantly pick it up and run with it - anyone who can think nothing of 2 grand for a proggie is still going to get the best they can out of it. If they already have Lightwave, 3DS Max, Maya, etc and make their bread-and-butter from it, it would prolly be chaper and faster for them to just buy the Poser content (which already has a perfectly useable .obj mesh and UV map w/ texture). Then you use one of a zillion plugins to auto-rig then tweak said rig on the figure once it's imported... and it won't cost you $1,000US to do it in either time or money. There is such a thing as pricing yourself out of the market, and I'm sorry, but Shade ain't Modo, and it ain't Lightwave, so they're going to have to do more than just bundle Poser with it for that kind of scratch (esp. in light of what Carrara can do at less than 500 bucks + whatever Transposer costs). /P
