Walmart has a profit margin of less than 4%. They are aggressive about controlling costs, which small-time companies can't compete with.

They'll compete by taking losses their competitors can't handle until they go out of business.

I suppose I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out WalMart's competitors are one of the costs they aggressively control :)
