As wealthy early adopters, they're the ones who pay thousands for new large screen TVs and expensive gadgets already, remember?
This small price premium at the sale beginning is nothing compared to the full R&D costs. Without the mass market a bourgeoisie and "tech elite" have to pay not thousands, but millions or billions USD so very soon these people will notice they are not the rich anymore!
More likely it would mean that no one would make such devices, if they cost millions or billions, and there aren't enough people to buy them. So the only things that will be made will be the things that the makers actually know can be sold. Maybe that means that the TVs won't be as big, and gadhets won't be as fast, but I'm sure these wealthy types will manage somehow.
