Accessories. Ecosystem. First mover advantage.
Yes, they are cheap pieces of crap. But they caught on. Now even bicycle helmets have mount points for them.
And they're cheap. So much so that many TV shows that are reality-based often have a "GoPro budget" because they know they're doing to destroy a dozen or more of those cameras in the course of filming the series.
One wonders if they buy retail boxed GoPros or they just say they're from Discovery channel and just get a pallet of them shipped sans boxes, accessories (other than batteries and the case) etc.
