They probably won't grow anymore but it's difference than Sony who has long given the image of 'premium' in a consumer market that places importance on value rather than paying for a failing brand name.
Samsung should look to pull a Target and take over these locations. They've got a better range of products for more price points. Throw in a solid mobile section/experience and you'll at least have some consistent traffic.

From what I understand, FS/BB own a good chunk of their brick and mortar stores, so they're not really Electronics Retailers, they're Real Estate holders who happen to sell electronics to pay their mortgages.
