I don't think they're yet ready for the mainstream, but I don't think they're an albatross around the neck of anyone who buys them, as your Amazon figures show:

Anyway, let's remember the "not ready for mainstream" point...

As you say, the mainstream aren't buying them yet. If they're not ready for the mainstream, that's a good thing, no?
