Confused as to why I am competing in the first scenario of Capitalism 2

Hello all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, it appears the Capitalism 2 forum is locked.
First off, I LOVE this game, it speaks to my soul as a simulation lover. I just finished the entrepreneur campaign and and moving onto the more advanced one.
The set up for the scenario if that I've just developed a technology for the first time and to take advantage of my head start. I assume this product is computers, I checked the "Invented and Known by You Column" and I didn't see anything unique to me.
So I built a computer supply chain and started selling computers, although none of the companies have sold computers there is a market expectation of a certain price, I am not able to sell the computers unless I make less than 50 a unit because the quality and brand are so low I can't get the score above the average unless I lower pricing.
My question is, the whole basis of this scenario is I'm first to market with computers, so why is there a market average of brand,quality and price if there is nothing like that in the world yet? Is this just the scenario not translating to the game mechanics or am I missing something. If I am first to market with a newly invented product, how are consumers comparing price, brand and quality?
