The mac pro is somewhere between "too expensive" and "too little, too late".

The standard line is that if you make $$$ using the Mac Pro - e.g. production companies - the cost is peanuts. However, they took so long to upgrade the Pro lineup that some of those would-be-buyers have already moved on to non-Apple products because working on old hardware for so long was more expensive than jumping off Apple's ship.

Certainly many stayed. But I have several friends that work in production in LA and more than one of them left Apple's ecosystem during that dry spell. They aren't coming back for an overpriced machine.

From what I've heard it's not really overpriced at that scale, but yeah, I'm sure there are some that switched for whom the cost of switching back just wouldn't be worth it
