WHSmith are clearing out their CD singles from their stores, due to a continual fall in sales - but the space will be taken up by other media, i.e. films and games. This can only be good news; it might mean that smaller games will be able to make it onto a popular high street shelf instead of being confined within the bowels of a mail order database.

I buy games from WHsmith when they are doing deals like buy 2 for 30 pounds, or buy one get one free. In the case of my WHsmith it is rather small and for a long time we didnt even have an Xbox section. With the singles chart gone this will free up a lot of room for games and dvds. I wouldnt think they earn a lot of money from the few singles they do sell.
You'll also only find a few videos sold in the video chart, apart from that it's all rows and rows of DVDs.

Not me. One of the reasons is that the one that is near me doesnt update the prices of its games often. This then makes some of their games more expensive than in other stores. Also they have a small collection of games than HMV, Game etc. By the way the Dixons that is near my college doesnt sell Gamecube hardware or software. Also their website has no Gamecube hardware or software.

I'm glad you agree; music is far far easier to make in comparison to games (after all, music is just a component of games nowadays), yet they still get all the space.
Yey.
No sarcasm intended, I hate seeing singles insetad of games.
