Sounds smart to me. Not only are you selling more than some of the competition, you do that at a higher price point. Win-win.

Olympus reported a decline in mirrorless camera sales in 3Q.

So? E-PL9 will only be available in March 2018.

For the full fiscal year, they cut the profit forecast of their Imaging division by 50%.

They do that every year

Like really, with their track record, nobody should take their forecasts seriously.

That doesn't sound like much of a win to me.

Selling more at a higher price does not sound like a win to you?

Or do you claim to know what the result of the new strategy will be for them at the end of the next fiscal year?
