Video games rule the world!

Video games have become the most popular form of home entertainment, it was revealed today.

People are set to lash out £4.64 billion on games this year, with home video (dvds blu ray et al), and cd sales accounting for £4.46 billion.

Of course you read it here first! When Grand Theft Auto IV came out with a record selling weekend, I commented on how games were still in the ghetto as far as the mainstream press were concerned, receiving drastically less coverage than films and music - even though more was being spent on them.

I suppose the thing to consider is that DVDs cost an average of maybe £8, cds less, so although more is spent on games, volume-wise the traditional forms of entertainment are still top.

Still, I await the day a national newspaper produces a games supplement, as they do frequently with films and music!
