Yep, classic story: shove too-expensive product into market, get weak uptake (but mostly from your usual bleeding-edge types who clear paths), wait for the cost reduction to actually build the market, cancel the cost reduction, panic, kill the product family. Business as usual! Oh wait, those last few are only for Intel. Deep pockets, and all that.
It was very telling that they weren't able to shrink 3DXpoint at all, or at least not by any amount worth the trouble to ship. Normally I'd blame the weirdo PCM stuff, which is at least genuinely weird, but then I remember the other achievements of this particular R&D department.
