I doubt it, it's the same with anything when there is a sale.

For example, Steam sales. When I see a game that is interesting I will think "cool, but I should finish all of the games I'm currently playing first". If I have 24 hours hours to get it at half price it feels like I am actually saving money in the long run even if I don't play it straight away.

Whether it was worth the initial price or not is almost irrelevant. I imagine if they set their prices to 25% permanently there would still be high demand if they did a further 25% sale.
