Highly reminiscent of how Blockbuster Video saw some huge issues a few years ago, large electronics chains are having difficulty keeping their customer bases away from online retailers like NewEgg.com, TigerDirect.com and Amazon.com.
Is there a future for electronics specialty stores?
Not long ago, retailers such as Best Buy Co., GameStop Corp. and RadioShack Corp. were outmuscling competitors across America by offering one-stop shopping for the latest televisions, computers, videogames and gadgets.
Now all three are fighting to survive. The rise of online competitors like Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.36% that offer low prices and downloadable products have siphoned customers and sales from these once-powerful retailers.
