I've seen a lot of people from not so affluent areas struggle till they were able to buy a certain thing. I feel if someone wants to buy something, they will buy. What do you think?

You will realize the billboards you will see in westlands are quite different from those on jogoo road. Samsung will advertise a very expensive phone on the westlands round-about and at the same time advertise a more affordable phone at city stadium. “People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it.” ― Walter C.

They might prefer expensive things but they can't afford them. The rich will buy coz they can afford but not necessarily coz they prefer. The big numbers will come from the rich. The middle class and their want to "make statements" will remain at that, want.
