We have had cases where suppliers have refused to sell to discounters on account of price alone, and they are losers for the supplier.

I don't think so. Apple does it, Nintendo does it, MS does it with XBox. Even the generic "Best Buy" coupons I get for 10% of "electronics" excludes Apple and Nintendo products.
