Except that they don't. I remember when CDs came out, they talked about
how much less expensive it was to produce CDs than cassettes, and the
initial marketing (which drove adoption) was that CDs *would* be cheaper
than cassettes.
Yet cassettes tended in the $6-$8 range IIRC, but CDs never really
dropped below $15 (for first run, obviously clearance stuff was reduced
below that).
