HMV's head of games, Tim Ellis, has told GamesIndustry.biz that videogames have entered a "golden period" for the retailer, and "are the new rock 'n' roll" when it comes to popularity for consumers.

"Anyone who has been following the development of our games offer really shouldn't be that surprised by this level of growth," he said, after the company revealed that the technology and games division now makes up 21 per cent of the overall revenues, up from 14 per cent a year ago.
