The truth is, G1000 sold in MI stores (lots of them) and the G70 sold in CK stores (hardly any of them)... You don't really need to look any further than that enormous blunder to see why the G70 failed.
How much does a CVP weigh? 
Well, a CVP is sold as a home instrument...weight is not a factor.
The biggest complaint I've heard about the G-70, both here on SZ, and elsewhere, is it's weight...it's too heavy, especially in a road case, for the typical one man band person to lug from gig to gig...particularly those doing several shows a day.
Yes, being sold in the wrong stores didn't help either, but here in Canada, it was sold alongside other arrangers, and it still didn't sell very well.
I also don't feel it was supported very well...I didn't see one G-70, or any Roland arranger clinic for that matter, in all the years they were available...I saw lots of RD-series demos, and Juno synth clinics, but no arranger support whatsoever.
