This is an excellent marketing comparison. Korg created a monster with Oasys. Everybody wanted one...not everyone could afford one. Plus, it was buggy.

Hence, Kronos was born and reached a much larger audience.

Yamaha could have done the same thing with Genos. They tapped the market with the Tyros line. Why not re-address their marketing and price it to allow a larger user base. Because of the pricing being the same as Tyros 5...people will continue to make the comparison. A lost opportunity for Yamaha.
