Wrong paragraph
I took this paragraph out of the lede:
- The Osborne effect is an example of a self-defeating prophecy, as the announcement of the new product is ultimately responsible for its own abandonment, though in general older products lose sales when newer, superior products from the same company come to the market.
that needs to be reworked to be an example of self defeating. The prediction would have to be "We will be a successful company because we have all these hot new products coming which we are financing with sales from our current successful product". Then, when sales for the current product dry up, this cuts off the funding and leads to the demise of the company. 96.246.61.156 (talk) 17:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, the effect is not an example of a self-defeating prophecy (it's more of a catalyst for one if you will) but the two are related enough that it makes sense to put it in the "See also" section. 78.28.53.132 (talk) 13:50, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
In the sentence " In the early 1990's TV set sales were depressed by talk of the emminent release ...", I believe that should be imminent, not emminent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.205.71.50 (talk) 19:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
