The impression I got when the K-1 Mark ii was announced was that the
improvements were driven (in part) by customer feedback and that feedback was
also the reason for the "upgrade" being available for existing K-1's

I see, thank you for the clarification. However, I disagree with your
interpretation; it can't possibly mean that. We have paragraphs like: "We
have lots of requests for lenses, especially from K-1 users. They want more
lenses that match the higher resolution of the K-1, so that’s one objective
which we would like to implement.", or "This form factor is iconic for the
Theta. We think it’s important. On the other hand, if there is demand, we
would like flexibly to think about any other possibilities, even for other
form factors." telling the complete opposite.
Actually I'm not sure what he meant... but let's not forget, he's a Japanese
speaking in a foreign language. Maybe they decided on the upgrade because of
the feedback? Maybe people are offering feedback on the upgrade? But it can't
be not incorporating our feedback into new products... the K-1 itself was
made because we demanded it.
OTOH... people's demands are all over the place, often mutually exclusive.
Listening doesn't mean meeting all our requests.

services."
I see that as saying that feedback is used primarily to upgrade existing
models, not on new model direction.

Interesting statement; as I'm seeing several times in the interview that
owner feedback is very important to them. But I don't see anywhere the
statement you're talking about.
