After spending the last year establishing their basic product lines and promoting themselves so the public would know they were in business, the manufacturers of computer hardware and software have taken their second big step. Mixing consumer reaction to their products with what they hear from research & development, the circuit sellers have introduced their "Model Twos"—their second level products that "improve" the initial products with which they entered the market.
In home videogames, this means much more versatile hardware, more "professional" extras, and more reasonable prices as the competition heats up for your hardware/software dollar.
In personal computers, this means the arrival of all those accessories the manufacturers were only talking about last year, the introduction of new lines of personal computers from manufacturers who ore only now getting into the competition, and significant price cutting as manufacturers discover how much consumers really wont to pay for home computers as opposed to the price tags the manufacturers thought they could get a way with when their first products came on the market.
