    Where to even start? You go to a shop, buy an overpriced, outrageous, boring gaming console. Why, you say? Simple, everyone wants the new version; the upgrade, but one comes out every couple of months, so what is the point of getting the upgrade? Because the majority of the time the classic is better, rather than the new, plastic, imported junk. Sometimes you feel like you are going to explode, all the competing brands trying to steal your hard earned money, to give them more and more of an inflated profit margin. You buy the console, and then you need the controllers, then the games and the other accessories , to finally make your product the best it can be; until you finally have all the new things to be in with your friends; and then they bring out the new version. Ahhh, curses. Pointless, time consuming and extremely anti-social.…

    HMV Groups markets had experienced rapid change over recent years and have become more competitive and with a diminishing amount of in store sales as consumers choose to use the internet to fulfil their needs. These trends are heavily influenced by celebrities and other social icons as well as advertising and publicity. The main technological development is that of the internet. It has also given rise to competition in the form of piracy which is a growing social/ political issue. Piracy has had a large affect on sales and demand within the industry and any changes in law/ legislation or enforcement of piracy will have a large effect on the HMV group. It has enabled consumers to communicate directly with the seller and buy their goods without ever having to enter a store. This has influenced the way goods are sold and the types of goods sold within the industry.…
