Barring bad things, we will never again see such a long time between Poser upgrades, so the market will probably never be as it has been for the last year. I did consider P5 and decided I didn't want to do clothing. On the other hand, I just like Posette and think she'll continue to be a useful figure to have around. So I'll probably do another product that's teasing my brain, not because it's likely to be much of a seller, but because I want to. If this work was paying the rent, I wouldn't. I agree that the transition is going to be gradual and on-going. The BIG bump P5 will deliver will be at the upper end, and hopefully attracting folks using other apps. The inhibiting force will be users' hardware. So the range of user skill levels is going to get much wider - and so will the secondary product needs. The "simplier" stuff is still going to be useful. Maybe the model merchants will adopt is the Basic Lite (P4) with Full Featured Upgrade (P5), that make immediate purchases an investment.
