Yeah, but ultimately, price is king. If Consumers were able to keep their prices down, I don't think people would mind the sterility of it all. You pretty much knew what you wanted when you got there thanks to the catalog. Go in, fill out the form, get Karate Champ for the NES....
It's just as well, I doubt they could have survived the invasion of the American Big box stores. They would have lost on pricing alone.
