As I said before hype/Gimick is usually the words that are thrown around when a gamer can't afford something. There was actually a really good conversation about this at GDC a couple years back Jerry Clements from NVIDIA was talking about the irrational hate over 3D vision when it was first made available, it baffled the company so they decided to find out what was it about the product that created such a strong negative opinion, come to find out the price point was out of many gamers range and that was the impetus of the hate.
It's the same way with Razer products, they are expensive and many gamers automatically hate what they can't afford.
You see the same hate with Collectors Editions, Third party swag etc. It's pretty petty if you think about it.
heyyy, look at all these unproven claims! Though the fact that someone's willing to take the word of a marketing guy at GDC at face value really says it all. cheers!*
