I think he was asking a question, it wasn't a statement actually
I think the product range of Steelseries is not sufficient therefore you don't really see Steelseries products in retail stores. Well maybe if they DO take in, only limited quantities will be brought in. Maybe it's because SS is not really that popular here compared to Razer, mainly due to the marketing strategy. As for gamers, they know that Steelseries are the best in gaming peripherals. First time games will most probably get a Razer product as their first gaming gear, after that only they will jump ship to SS. It's a risk for retailers to keep a large amount of ranges for SS products
its cos SS being stuck up europeans, rather conduct transactions in euros.
whereas others deal in USD.
so of cos the cost will be higher compared to other brands.
even for SRP, ever notice how certain brands got put like USD99 for US and worldwide markets and E99 for europe for the same product?
i dunno where the misconception that steelseries is the best in gaming peripherals.
they started by making headsets and mousepads first, while their mouses are not exactly the greatest with the sole exception of the xai and possibly ikari optical.
to me, it's just ppl go support the underdog for the sake of it...without looking at the bigger picture.
