I played a similar game in class, in our case we put a lot on both R&D and marketing, selling expensive high quality and well marketed products. We "won" the game but our teacher was not happy about the outcome and thought he would have to make some changes to the simulation. Mind you, it was only one or two years before seeing everyone buying Apple laptops :D

Played one of those in school (MarkStrat or something like that). The TA was unhappy because we were doing very well based in no small part on a large sales force. But we elected to do a fast follower strategy on a new product--but no one else really had the money to do upfront R&D so we were sort of "expected" to take the hit to make the simulation proceed as planned.

It was probably the same game. You’re saying the product was laptops right?
