Based on their domination of the P&S and digital markets, one
might argue their strategy was excellent. Unfortunately, profits
don't necessarily equate to happy niche customers, nor vice versa.

Words are the bridge from wish to reality, they possess the power

be traversed in both directions and rather than help build a great city,
they can destroy a beautiful dream.
