Not disagreeing with the bulk of your comment, but...

In the December quarter alone Apple generated 85% of Walmart's most recent annual profit. And most likely for Christmas 2012 it'll exceed 100%.

Or put another way, if Apple hits their numbers for this year, they'll do about 200% over the profit that Walmart does (annually).

I only point this out because it's staggering.
