UK retailer HMV's chief executive, Simon Fox, says game sales may surpass music at the company within 18 months. Video games now account for 19% of sales at the
music store, with an increase of 4.1% occurring in the last three months, Fox tells
The Sun.
Earlier this year, the UK's Entertainment Retailers' Association noted that
game sales overtook music at retail and were on the way to catching DVD revenues. Considering HMV's iconic symbol is that of a
dog with a phonograph, we've gone ahead and updated the image for the new generation.
