Analyst: The pace of technological development brings a constant stream of new devices to the market, and many of them enjoy commercial success. But announcing new technology too soon after the introduction of a successful device can backfire. Once consumers hear about the new device, they may stop buying the one currently on sale. So, if a company wishes to announce the upcoming sale of a new device, it should wait until purchases of the old device have begun to decline.

Which of the following, if true, would best support the analyst's main assertion?  

		New technology often becomes less expensive after an initial surge in sales.
		Media outlets, such as television programs and magazines, often report on the planned introduction of new devices while the sales of old devices are still strong.
		Many consumers are unable to determine whether new technology is superior to current   technology. Surveys have shown that some consumers make only one or two technology purchases per year, whereas others make more frequent purchases. Consumers tend to be loyal to technology companies whose products they enjoy using. 答案选B。。但是我怎么觉得是削弱呢。。B说while the sales of old devices are still strong. 但是原文说it should wait until purchases of the old device have begun to decline. 啊有谁帮帮我啊？～～THANKS~~

其他几个选项都不对。。。。

而B给了另外一个原因， 因为如果company做了一个新的product, 那MEDIA OUTLETS(注意， 不是company)会在旧产品还在大卖的情况下大肆报道这个新产品， 那consumer可能会去买新的而不买旧的。。。well it's somewhat in line with what the author discussed...这题太牵强了。。。因为其他4个选项都不strengthen, 而B只是间接的strengthen而已。。。
