Nintendo doesnt set the RRP in Sweden. Bergsala does.

Gamestop worldwide, is nothing what it is in Sweden. Gamestop is the biggest focused on games only, but mainly because it's the only one nationwide.

Meda Markt is a whole other beast here, it's like saying that the amount of "ICA Nära" surpasses the amount of "ICA Maxi" but they're a small contributor in the end. The demand is not like in Japan or North America, but it's solid. 

This is correct. 

Also regarding Media Markt. They undercut prices of competition by operating at a loss. I mean since the first store opened in Sweden (in 2006) they have so far lost somwhere around 3-4 billion SEK (~$370-490 million) in trying to force the established competition out of the market (death toll so far, OnOff, Expert and numerous smaller electronics retailers).

I just hope they go away.

Yeah also this, they have such a shady business model. They operate just like FKP Scorpio in regards to how they drive business in Sweden. Taking a loss with a massive capital in other countries, to kill the opponents and then have all the market to themselves.
