Theres a Telstra shop here in oz, stupid idea



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Ya WTF are people thinking... They should close down places that sell the product they make.... like Apple Store, Sony Store, Nissan, Ford, BMW, VW, McDonald's, Taco Bell,..... Auckem Fll.

I mean shit, It makes no sense that people want one store for the products they want.. instead of going into a Wal*Mart, Target, Bestbuy, walking down isle after isle to find that one shelf, with that one product, out of stock..

Just a quick list of what stores offer.

MS:
Zune
Xbox Games/Console
Windows OS
some input devices

Apple:
iPod
iPhone
iAccessories
Computers
Input Devices
Mac OS
TV thing
few other random things apple makes

Sony:
Blu-ray Discs/Players
TVs
Video Games for 3 platforms
Phones
MP3 players
that one text thing
DVDs
Sound Systems
Computers
Input Devices
whatever else is in the SonyStyles stores...


From what I guess MS will have the smallest store of the three...

IF done correctly though a good layout could easily fake out the look of less stuff.

 I'd be willing to bet the top 3 will be at least partially represented. I mean, I've be surprised if things like T-shirts and hats for new big franchise releases weren't available at the store. Also, it'd be a perfect to sell tie-in stuff. Best buy has those candy/snack/soda setups near checkout, seems like a good place for MS to sell things like... Mountain Dew Game fuel, or other snack foods/drinks with Tie-ins to MS games. Ok granted, maybe there's not enough of them to go around... yet... But we'll see it someday...

This is the one thing I would like to see as the other two doesnt. More product based clothing would be cool. I;d consider wearing a 7.

@ssj12

actually thats Sony biggest problem and why their in all this trouble in the first place. They simply have their hands in too many things and can't turn a profit on it all while Microsoft turn the few things they touch into gold (in terms of profit not neccessarily quality), well everything but the Zune.
