Flexibility of demand is high for otaku products because the target demo will, in this case, pay almost any price.


I believe you mean demand is highly inelastic.[b]

Anyway, the point still stands. Good on Nitroplus for innovating. Laughing


Yes, that's exactly the term I meant. Thanks for clarifying that Smile

You'll need a different attachment to achieve what men actually want.


Y'mean, de-tachment. Like a detachable cylindrical column that forms a tunnel hole.... Laughing

Yeah, she does kind of look like she's about to get nailed...


In more ways than one! Laughing

Why even bother with the arm parts? Instead, Japan should just go ahead and make sex bots. Its inevitable, and the canny company that gets into the market first might just be able to take control of the market. Throw in some wi fi, audio and visual playback and you have a sure thing on your hands. Or just make persocoms not have off switches in bad places


In good places where ya slap 'em when they get too preachy! Laughing

Because, as that famous commercial paraphrased, that guy is "not just the CEO, but also a customer." Laughing

Hardcore Otaku have become slightly closer to not being foreveralone.jpg, now that a greater impression of reciprocity in the human-dakimura relationship is given. Laughing

Interesting idea, but $130 for a pillow is absurd.
