Remember that Intel is targeting Itanium 2 against Power4 and SPARC.
In that space, the price of Itanium 2 is very competitive.

What's a software simulator got to do with anything? Certain things
are easier to develop on a simulator, others are easier to develop on
hardware. Nothing unique to IA64.
