The heart of my post - albeit badly eloquent - is this...

Poser 9/2012 is not selling well. No?

Any DAZ Platinum member who doesn't use Genesis is spending thousands less than they would have.

Look in the Renderosity marketplace. What are they selling? How few genesis products?

This tells you

a) Genesis is totally reliant on a few long-term buyers and a ton of brand new DS4 user buyers... they hope

b) Poser now more than ever needs a Posette because they have NO... Z E R O... characters to sustain their sales.

How many Anastasia products were added this week in the renderosity marketplace?... a marketplace that is also supporting pretty much no Genesis products?

The focus on weight maps and high end lighting screwed Poser out of long-term sales because it depends solely on the sales of Vicki4 that has been out for over 4 years and whose market is saturated.

Smith-Micro's approach depended on a Vicki5 that had the exact same approach as Vicki 1, 2 ,3 and 4... they assumd it would be useable in Poser.

I have no clue what DAZ was assuming - they fucked up completely.

 

So... my thinking was

 

A year from now... what does this mean for this entire market?
