Logitech report the launch of Logitech Revue and the Google TV peripherals made a significant contribution to growth with sales of $23M (Q3 Fiscal Year 2011). Another great strength is that Logitech focuses on being a cost leader. They are obsessed with developing very affordable, yet quality products.
