"Market cannibalization is a loss in sales caused by a company's introduction of a new product that displaces one of its own older products."

Understand the concept but on the other side a customer who tracks his cars like me won't buy an M2 until it is available with the buckets and won't buy a bigger fatter pricier M4 because the M2 exists.

I don't see much loss of M4 sales "just" because of bucket availability..
