UK. Games to outsell music, video

UK sales of games will outstrip music and video for the first time in 2008, says a report from Verdict Research, reports the BBC.

A huge shift in consumer attitudes has turned video games into the UK's most popular form of entertainment, say the retail analysts.

In the last five years the video games market has more than doubled in value, while music sales have stagnated.

... The ERA's most recent figures for 2007 show sales of games software at £1.7bn(2$.7bn), compared to £1.4bn ($2.2bn) in music sales and £2.2bn ($3.5bn) for video revenues.
