Apparently Coca Cola has come out with a new brand of diet soft drink; what will Carlsberg do to defend themselves against Coca Cola?

The day Coca Cola enter the business of alcoholic beverages is the day beer breweries around the world simultaneously cry out in terror and are suddenly silenced

 

 

Apologies to the non Australians here (and if anyone has lived in Australia and overseas could you translate for me), but

 

Coca Cola = Apple (the popular company that is/could enter the industry)

Tooheys/Fosters/VB =  Ubisoft (low quality entertainment for the masses)

James Squire = Nintendo, MS, Sony. (high quality entertainment for the masses)

 

Tooheys has a lot to fear from Coca Cola entering the industry, but James Squire does not. Ubisoft has a lot to fear from Apple, but Nintendo does not. Iphone games can match ubisoft games in terms of quality, but they cannot match Nintendo/Sony/MS.

 

Phones will not kill off consoles/handhelds in the next 15+ years, because sales are related to games, not to hardware/price.
