Price of DJM 900 NXS 2

just found out the retail price of the DJM 900 NXS 2 is:

$2200 in the USA

$3000 in Canada

When you convert the currency it works out to the same more or less...

I am dying here.  $3000 for a mixer?

What I wonder about is if Pioneer will sell the quantities they used to, given that in this day and age, I could buy a controller, software, speakers, cables, basically everything I would need for a setup and possibly more and still achieve the same performance.  I hope the resale value drops dramatically as I feel $3000 (that's without taxes too) is absolutely  unjust.  I know there are many arguable angles to this from Pioneer as to the cost to build but I highly doubt it justifies the sale price tags. 

I could build a car made of all diamonds and the high price tag would be justified too but at the end of the day, that would only appeal to a very small group of people.  Others (majority) would just drive a car that does the same thing that does not have diamonds in it and pay a lot less.

I hope that Pioneer can reconsider their price points in the future.

Just my thoughts.
