Aren't there only a few best buy stores (including one 300 meters away from my work) - so how can that be an excuse. Also I've found best buy to be relatively expensive compared to PCworld/Currys megastore (which is 300 meters the other way) so I can't believe people can be spending all that much in the few Best buy stores that exist.
Sounds just like an excuse to keep the shareholders happy.
TBH I think the internet and home delivery has taken its fair chunk out of the retail market as well. More people being savvy with their money when they do buy.
TBH I avoid the retail stores like the plague when I can, most I find are full of unknowledgable sales people tell other punders lies or there spin on the truth of the matter. Anyway it looks likely that Bestbuy is gunning for the parent company of Dixon, so you might see Bestbuy sooner than later lol
It's probably because they're not competitive - they've always been expensive in my eyes - although it has been a while since I last set foot in a Dixons
Good luck finding a Dixons, they have shut all the high street branches down or changed them to Curry's DigitalQuote:

Once the electrical power house of retail with shops everywhere and different shops, (Link, Dixons, Currys, PC World and that games store they had) now reduced to Curry and Pcworld, with them being merged into one store too.
