The way I heard Mondry speak about the new product mixes on the past conference call was a lot more compelling than the way it's being announced now. The way Mondry said it was that the CPU customer was more leading edge....more interested in what was hot, new and powerful. He felt their customers were the early adopters. All of that in context to CPU selling things that are computer related, (the good news is almost everything in consumer electronics is headed towards being computer related). It does seem obvious to me that the ability to touch and see these hot new products is important and fundamental to bricks and mortar. Commodity products should be better served over the net where price is king. Now having said that, as I stated before, it's execution. The announcement was not good and focusing on game consoles is stupid....what's leading edge about those???? And why promote a $200.00 product for gaming when your high end pcs go to gamers for 3K?
