I find it hard to imagine that young people, for whom photos are something 
you take with a mobile and share on Instagram, will spend the money on 
buying the film for this device. The only people I know who use instant 
photography are art types for whom the little prints are an ingredient in 
further creation.

Cheers,
Nathan
