Leo-J could be telling the truth and it is still meaningless because it is based on his (biased) perception of how sales went, and even if his perception is relatively accurate it is simply 1 data-point with no way to control for socio-economic and regional differences that make his store not representative of national sales.
Essentially, I suspect that a Best Buy on the wealthy side of town in a prosperous region of the country has dramatically different sales trends than the Best Buy on the poor end of town in a economically challenged part of the country; and even at the same end of town the Walmart and Best Buy will have dramatically different sales trends.
