Unsound,
I see Walmart as a follower, not a leader. It may jump on a hi-def bandwagon (Blue-Ray or HD DVD)but only after the winner has been decided. Walmart does not make markets (= take risk) for products. It invests in inventory and shelf space after critical mass has been achieved in public demand.
