There is a concept of cannibalization of your own products in order to continue to make money. This fact is crucial in the case of industries which don't have consumable/perishable products. So, any product from a tech company always faces competition from the next product fromt the same company. Owners of the old product have a choice of whether to buy the new product or not. I believe that this implies that other competitors don't need to be protected by the antitrust laws in such industries. Consumers, however, need to be protected in case this company starts price gouging. I know this thesis will not appeal to you and maybe to some of the judges also..
