If you go to http://www.supersoaker.com you will get a pop-up of "Soaker-Tag." It looks like a new product for 2004.

The Super Soaker Logo better not be the only thing that is new.
They mentioned 4 generations above. The later generation suposed to be superior to the earlier one. What is the 4th generation which is suposed to be superior?
1st Gen.= Classic.
2nd Gen.= XP/XXP
3rd Gen.= CPS
4th Gen.= ?.. .... ... Max-D?... EES?... .
There is no superior 4th generation soaker, unless there was a generation patent which came before the Classic Series. And I don't know if the patent of the Classic and XP line differs at all. The way I see it, there are only 2 generation patents. Air Pressure and CPS Pressure. Everything else are just little modefication of the same soakers of the past. If there are just 2 generation patents, then the stage-milking theory of the article is flawed, since the milking has not really stoped and the 1st generation patent is still in use after around 15 years.
Hmm. Maybe Larami was ripping us off to begin with. Read.
"The Super Soaker brand of squirt gun is an example of planned obsolescence. A patent was granted for a self-contained device which uses hydraulic principles to project a stream of fluid. Introduced as a toy in the late 1980s, the original Super Soaker was a "hydraulic action squirt pistol." Sales were brisk and the market saturated quickly. The second generation of Super Soaker was an "extended capacity hydraulic action squirt pistol." Sales were brisk and the market saturated quickly. The third generation of Super Soaker was an "extended range hydraulic action squirt rifle." Sales were brisk and the market saturated quickly. The fourth and final generation of Super Soaker was an "extended capacity hydraulic action squirt rifle." Sales were brisk and the market saturated quickly."

I think so. The CPS soakers gets people hooked, while then they bring Air Pressure soakers back to make them want the CPS soakers more. And after the new CPS wave, they bring back AIr Pressure. That way, people will not expect something superior to the CPS technology. it's a clever way to keep consumers expectations low.

It would be unfortunate to wait to 2014 for a quality continuation of 1998 soakers. Also, by then I think Hasbro just renewes the rights to the CPS patent. it's not really difficult to compete with Hasbro at the moment, since all they mainly offer now are Max-Ds. The flaw lies more with the other companies. All they have to do is make high powered Airs Pressure soakers similar to the XP 250, XXP275 and XP 300/Classic 300. Their technologies are not copy righted. And it's not difficult to improve upon those guns either. Having a double-barel air pressure backpack soaker with a 5X-7X nozzle is not hard to do. I guess the problem is, the watergun market is being run by idiots.

agreed
you still can use a spring to push a pistion and you will have cps power. the only problem would be the orings wearing out on the pistion and they will have to be replaced -_-
