That is not how Apple rolls buddy! Apple is a 3 Trillion dollar company and they could keep this project going for 10 years if they wanted to! The Apple I and Apple II were in the same boat, just think if Apple gave up after the Apple II! Don't allow your limiting beliefs to deceive you!
maybe if this product came out during the Sims heyday it would be a different story.. but now? I don't see it
 
Yes, if they can’t convert this idea into a more affordable “consumer product” in the future.

The user target of this thing is only pros or some youtubers who are willing to pay $3500 plus tax, most consumers won’t. The bar is very high for general public to get on hands of this thing.

Imagine Apple spent 8 years and shxt load of $$$ on the R&D and won’t profit from it. Tim Cook, the business man who doesn’t really understand the technology, understands the business value of doing it at least. The models for general public may have been planned already.
exactly, you need a cheap product or at least something within financial reach of the general public to get people to buy in, especially for a completely new product like this. A great example is Sony selling their playstation hardware at a loss for years to gain that all-important marketshare
