Did Fuji just wallop X-E1 sales?

Sure; that is correct but that's true for EVERYTHING especially consumer electronics.  For example, look at the Ipad mini; everyone knows the next version will have an improved retina screen yet, it selling like hot cakes.  Another example is, most likely we'll get a cheaper FF mirrorless interchangeable soon maybe less than a year; yet people still buy the current models instead of waiting for it.  I guess what I'm saying is; there's always something better around the corner especially in consumer electronics.
