On Wednesday figures were published about how Netflix and Spotify have increased the number of sales of entertainment products such as music, films, video games. The reason of popularity of watching TV and films is because of Netflix, Amazon Lovefilm and Apples iTunes. These three has increased 40% in spendings on digital videos and downloads, streams and subscriptions rising to £621m. Sources like Spotify and Deezer have allowed the music streaming tracks doubled to 7.4n. Services like Netflix, LoveFilm and Blinkbox are transforming the video business by making content available over multiple devices. The biggest-selling DVD in the UK last year was Skyfall, which shifted 2.96m copies, easily beating The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which sold 2.07m, according to figures from the British Video Association. The biggest-selling TV show on DVD was the second season of Game of Thrones, followed by the BBC shows Top Gear: The Perfect Road Trip and two series of Mrs Brown's Boys.
My view: I personally believe that Netflix is a really good source which allows people to watch films for very cheap. This is the thing which has made sales increase this year and i believe it will increase sales in the upcoming years. This is all related to new and digital media, the advancements developments have allowed this to happen. As technology is developing fast i think in the upcoming years things will change even more.
