Adapt or die.

Just look at Kodak. It had one of they first digital cameras ... in 1975, decades before the market shifted, but dropped its development thinking it was a fluke.

They were afraid it would cannabilize their main market share.

A very similar situation is faced by the oil companies.

I recently received this G.M. Camaro Name Survey e-mail. Based on the questions they asked, i would say the future of the V8 is optimistic:

They asked a series of questions about five Camaro names: Street Sport, RS, SS, LT1, and 376, and wanted to know which two i preferred, as well as what each name represented to me. Did anyone else take the survey?
