All of you who dislike walmart can soon shop at Tesco, as they are targeting the US for the next major expansion.
I wish I bought shares in it 8 years ago. Do a search on Tesco and you'll see that Walmart might be in for a nice challenge in a few years time :)
Can a retailer really control what you buy? Well you can only buy what they stock :)
I guess in the UK if Tesco and The Dixons Group (DSG) both sold really cheap HD-DVD drives eg £100 combined with a blockbuster HDDVD it could have a large effect on the market - but this seems very unlikely to happen.
I believe Toshiba will have to win the war on it's own RRP price, still Tesco does have a large "own brand" range....so it's not impossible, and if packaged/advertised well it could sell.
Tesco owns a larger % of the UK market then Walmart has in the US. Could Toshiba target each major retailer and help them do "own brands"? Umm sounds a bit crazy to me, but it would be very impressive if they pulled something like that off :)
