For all of the hardware, yes. For the incremental cost of better hardware versus development cost, it makes sense to spend more on development to save hardware between 10k and 100k units. I have worked on embedded projects for extremely expensive hardware selling in moderate numbers with underpowered SOCs that could not produce smooth UIs. Bad hardware decisions.
