Do you think the price is right for the 3DS? The price for the 3DS is high but acceptable. However, in the present climate how many parents can afford a £200-plus console for children?
What will be the highlight of the year?
I think the uDraw Wii accessory will be huge when released next month. Art Academyon DS was
massively in demand at Christmas and uDraw will be on a larger TV screen.
Which accessories have been selling well in-store? Obviously after Christmas we saw a big jump in accessories sales. Things like Wii handguns have been selling well along with Wii fitness accessories such as Yoga mats. DS Lite cases and controllers for all platforms are also top sellers.
How has the VAT rise affected you? It can’t be fair that UK stores are charged 20 per
cent VAT yet online stores based in the Channel Islands can supply goods to UK customers VAT-free.
