Companies such as Sony, Apple, Canon, Nokia and Samsung are planning to clamp down on distribution to sellers in popular online marketplaces and issue customer advisories not to buy from e-commerce portals as they are not authorised trade partners. Such products could even be fake and hence lead to problems with warranty support. The companies are looking to fight back against what they see as pricing distortions and brand damage inflicted by the discounting marketplaces.

War on discounts: Handset makers like Sony, Apple, Nokia, Samsung fighting online 'price distortions' — economictimes.indiatimes.com
 
These companies and retailers were making exorbitant profits. Now when the consumer is getting benefitted from online cutthroat prices, they cannot digest it.
Some supermarkets in my neighborhood charge M.R.P. and the smaller provision stores will charge lesser prices cutting down on their profit margin. But, the small retailer is also making a profit. As a consumer, I'll buy from where the prices are low while the quality is also good.
The bottom line is the retailers were making a kill so far. I hope the consumers will prevail in the end. I don't know what kind of clout other sites have but Flipkart and Amazon should not bow down to these companies.
 
I think this is all drama for the benefit of the birck & mortar retailers, to these jokers it makes no difference who sells as long as they can laugh all the way to the bank.
 
Some of the new models of brands like xolo, gionee and lenovo are not even available in the brick and mortar stores even after 3~4 months of their launch. How do they expect to bridge this gap.
Went to buy a new xolo model that has been released one month ago ..none of the 8 shops near my house had it ..6 shops didn't even had the xolo phones and rest two shops had old models which they kept on trying to sell it to me. assholes.

True. When I was looking to buy Omnia W, first I checked its price in Croma and Vijay Sales. Both were selling at same price. Then I checked in local store. It was selling almost 1000 less. I bought from there :) May be this local store is evading some local taxes which is not possible for big branded shopes.

Anyways brands you mentioned are not part of big-league team, so they may not cut/restrict supplies for online stores.

Lenovo may not be part of "big-league" team but it has already decided to issue notices saying online stores are not its preferred resellers. So I will not be surprised if they actually cut down on supplies to online retailers.
