I disagree that price is the only deciding factor between the full sized iPad and the mini. We have both in my household. We had the iPad 2 first but I found it fatiguing to use for reading, browsing, etc. The mini is much better in this respect, at half the weight of the iPad 2.
I would agree that price is likely the predominant factor for consumers choosing between the full size and the mini but I think many consumers are also choosing the mini for its smaller size/weight and also because perhaps they already have a full size tablet and want a second one.
