I'm sure most of you heara while ago that Dixons was going to stop selling VCR's( in fact I think we discussed it on here) . This morning, they have announced they are no longer going to sell 35MM cameras.
So do you think they are moving with the times? Or relying too much on new technology continuing to sell strongly?
After they stopped selling VCR's, other retailors reported a strond jump in sales- I can't remember what %, but it was high.
I understand their motives, but can't help thinking they're jumping the gun a bit. Take me: I have a vast video collection, and couldn't (and wouldn't) pay from them all again on DVD. I would also love a digital camera, but doubt very much my old PC (Windows 95 with little software) would cope. I'm only one person I know, but there must be others in similar situations.
Also other retailers seem to be scaling back sales of older products, rather that stopping them altogether- so there must be demand.
Thoughts?
