Isn’t what you call a "sharp name" just a brand-able name? These kind of domain names aren’t parked that often as they are typically some kind of fantasy names or combinations of two or even more words. So no, I don’t think they’re undervalued.
That’s exactly why they are undervalued. Most aren’t parked they’re just buried in bad branding or lazy usage. A sharp name with clear vision still beats SEO stuffing and generic combos any day:)
Steam has been at "steampowered.com" which is a 2nd rate domain name in comparison since the beginning. I'm sure they'd like to have steam.com but they've connected well with customers and game publishers without it -- they've done all the other work it takes to make their service a household name.
