Excellent points in this article. And I like your #Nintendo vs. #Sega analogy but you compared Apples to Oranges. Gameboy was a portable handheld. Dreamcast was a console system. A better comparison would be how Sega's 16GB Genesis was better than Ninendo's 8bit NES system or how their full color GameGear portable was better than Ninendo's black and white dinky Gameboy. But like VHS and Beta, Nintendo won out.
You make a compelling argument to buy $AMZN. There are so many other reasons to buy #Amazon stock as well, that this is actually on the bottom of my list. As a customer of #AWS, I've actually been pretty unsatisfied with my experience. I find the customer support to be incredibly slow to resolve problems and have experienced outages. I think AWS need to improve if they want to continue getting my business.
Interesting concept but as someone who lives near the border, I'd like to point out that ever since 9/11, it now takes way too long to cross into Canada. It used to be similar to driving through a toll booth. That wait would cancel out any long checkout lines here in the US. If you can get a Black Friday doorbuster deal, that would often be an item thats half-off or more, cancelling out any loonie savings.
As for excessive wait times in store? I haven't gone to a physical store on Black Friday in years. I do all my buying from the comfort of my couch as there are so many deals online these days. While the dollar may be strong in terms of purchasing power, customs costs and shipping fees still makes internet shopping from Canada expensive.
