The pie is so much smaller now. Even taking more of the pie, it's still a lot less than their share of the larger pie was. I think that they 'need' those lens sales more now than they did in the not so distant past.

Denying options to those already invested in Canon may initially put more beans in the pot; but when potential new buyers become aware that Canon offers them fewer options than both Sony or Nikon, Canons stance may turn out to be "Penny wise-Dollar foolish".:-|

Unless you or anyone on this forum has detailed market data that indicates that a good portion of the new buyer community will not purchase Canon because of third party lenses then you are just making a speculative guess.   Outside of the rumblings on these forums, we really do not have an understanding of the impact of Canon's approach.
