That theory is complete nonsense.
If you wait a little longer, you can buy a better tablet, a better computer, a better phone, a better TV with the same amount of money (inflation-corrected or not). That doesn't stop people from buying all kinds of electronic devices, even though they get obsolete much faster than their money.
- gfodor 12y agoThe point is not that it stops people from buying things, but that on a macro scale it will cause people to delay or dampen their consumption. Sites like http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ show this phenomenon exists, the question is how much of an effect it has when it's a few % yearly discount spread out over every good and service.
