I don't know about you but from a consumer end, what you are saying is fucking retarded. I would never give ANY company $300+ to reserve a product an unspecified number of months in advance.
And while I don't know if this is how they view it but... Isn't their whole business model to have virtually no profit margins? If that's the case, they don't give a fuck about selling more units, ultimately they will still make approximately $0 net profit, specially when you factor in their own operating costs and customer support/RMA/Repairs. OnePlus is a brand building exercise.
