Second Hand Consoles and Video Games Popular with Online Gamers

Second Hand Video Games and Consoles Soaring in Popularity, Says Vivastreet.co.uk - Recent high profile game launches such as Treyarch's Black Ops late last year have brought gaming firmly into the mainstream. Traffic to the Video Games section of free classifieds site, Vivastreet.co.uk, was noticeably higher in the first six weeks of 2011 than the last six weeks of 2010, defying the usual post-Christmas lull.

Of all the ads on Vivastreet.co.uk, some of those attracting the most eyeballs are ones containing second hand consoles and video games, as cash-strapped Brits look to start gaming without breaking the bank. Second hand PS2s and XBox 360s have proved particularly popular, especially with online gamers.

The number of people seeking to cash in on the booming popularity of gaming has also risen, with new ads posted in the Video Games section during the first six weeks of the year also up on the last six weeks of 2010.

One of the most popular second hand video games for sale has been first person shooter, Call of Duty 'World at War' — perhaps not surprising given the launch of sequel game, Black Ops. There has also been a mini-surge in the number of Wii consoles on the site in recent weeks, doubtless as a result of the launch of the XBox Kinect.

Mobile Handsets will Generate $5.5 Billion Revenue Annually by 2015

Mobile Music Revenues to Reach $5.5 Billion by 2015, Although Growth Threatened by Online Piracy, According to Juniper Research - A new report published today by Juniper Research forecasts that music consumed on mobile handsets will generate $5.5 billion annually in 2015, a rise of $3.1 billion from 2010. The report finds that mobile music is becoming an increasingly important part of the digital music sector, which is propping up a failing industry hit by over a decade of widespread online piracy.

Since the popularisation of P2P file sharing at the end of the last century, the music industry’s sales have gone into free fall, as consumers rejected the physical distribution of music in favour of easier, but illegal means of acquiring it. The industry response was initially slow, but legal digital distribution services, such as Apple’s iTunes are now blossoming, and mobile handsets are increasingly becoming the key platform for them.

Mobile Music Opportunities report author Daniel Ashdown argues: “Initially, PC downloading and sideloading to MP3 players was the only way to go; but the development of mobile devices has now reached the point where they match the technical specs of dedicated MP3 players. Add in connectivity – just one click to buy and download – along with all the other smartphone features, and there is no competition between the two. This is why sales of Apple’s iPhone are going to outstrip its iPod in the not too distant future.”

Digital Cameras Still a Top Device for Taking Photos

Digital Camera Still Top Device for Taking Pictures, According to The NPD Group - Mobile Phones Come in a Close Second - While mobile phones continue to increase share of voice and share of image capture, the dedicated camera remains the image capture device of choice by most consumers, according to leading market research company The NPD Group’s December 2010 Imaging Confluence Study.

The device with the largest percentage of all photos taken was the digital still camera, at 51 percent. Close behind, however, was the mobile phone, at 42 percent. Demographics play a factor in which device consumers choose for image capture. 13-17 year olds reported taking 54 percent of their photos with a mobile phone and 36 percent with a camera, while Moms reported taking 40 percent of their photos with a mobile phone and 55 percent with a camera.

As more devices are capable of both still and video capture, the usage pattern for video also skews towards cameras. There was nearly an even split among amount of video captured on mobile phone versus camera, at 35 percent phone / 34 percent camera. Only 27 percent of video was reported being recorded on either a traditional or pocket camcorder.
