I can understand the desire to branch out into other product lines. After all, Nintendo did start out as a hanafuda company. Imagine what would have happened (or what wouldn't have happened) if Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't venture out into video games back in the late 70's.Of course, it is possible to be a successful company with just one simple product. Look at Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikigaisha. All they make is zippers. If you're wearing something with a zipper right now, chances are, your zipper says YKK on it.
wow man. thanks for that. I love learning stuff like that.
and YES my zipper does have YKK on it.
