Yeah, tell that to the people who buy iPhones. I'm sure that the 8GB version doesn't sell well compared to the 16GB. And I'll bet iPhone upgraders buy iPhones with larger storage when they upgrade. The reason for this is that the iPhone is successfully marketed as an entertainment device. Heck, most people I know have 16GB+ music PLUS pics they've taken (sometimes in the thousands), and then add in apps, etc.
The problem, as I see it, is that most people don't realize that ANY Android phone can be as good a device for entertainment as ANY version of the iPhone. AND they miss out of selling to people (sheeple) who go to the iPhone as the "only" device that will serve their needs. HTC is the only brand who has tried and their efforts have been half-***** (my censoring) at best.
At least most brands are now supporting 64GB microSD(XC) cards. And the S3 supports external USB storage through an adapter. Support for LARGE capacity microSDXC cards might be the only savings grace in this whole storage debacle. Then again, there is the whole lack of file system support for large capacity storage issue, but at least Linux has support for some that will (hopefully) deal with that in the near future!
