Has Steve been too convincing?

The sudden 20'' iMac G5 price drop, more than anything else proves that those machines were suddendly considered obsolete by the arrival of Intel based iMacs.
It seems the speed figures communicated by Steve Jobs himself, though optimistic we may find them, proved effective. Maybe a bit too much.
Probably the people at Apple didn't expect such an enthousiasm, and certainly not a sudden, massive customer move from the G5 to the Core Duo iMac.
In some way, this surprise might result in difficulties for the company, until the end of the migration.
If a large amount of every Mac lines decide to wait before renewing their machines, sales will drop accordingly.
The transition will then probably be accelerated as fast as possible. The limit being Intel CPUs availability.
Initiating MacBook Pro 17'', and perhaps 12'', will require many Core Duo, while Core Solo will be needed for launching new MacBooks [not pro] and Mac mini.
And the problem might even prove trickier for Powermacs. Intel won't have before September CPUs that might successfuly replace Quad G5s.
For once, let's hope iPod sales will continue to shatter records. For Apple's quotation sake.
