When neither buys, X's unilateral deviation gains , while Y's gains . For both to be nonpositive, must exceed the larger threshold. Hence
Equality is included because a zero-gain deviation does not violate a Nash equilibrium. Consequently both joint-purchase and joint-nonpurchase Nash equilibria exist throughout , a coordination region.
