Welcome to the final 2015 issue of The Future
Gaming and Entertainment. Ill keep things brief, as I
know youre busy, with the Christmas rush now well
underway. To help in this frantic period, the team at
Exertis have gathered together the best product news,
buying guides, and practical tips, so your stores will be
packed with most desirable gifts this festive season.
Smartwatches are growing ever more popular, thanks
to a large extent to the new range of Fitness tracking
watches, so we take an in-depth look at wearable
technology, and what consumers want from this
exciting market. Also with the new Apple launches,
we also round-up the best accessories available for
the record-selling iPhone 6 and 6S. E-Sports has seen
its fanbase expand at a phenomenal rate, with many
predicting it to overtake some major professional sports
in the next few years, and we investigate what that
means for retail.
Intel recently released its latest range of processors
called Skylake, and we talked with the company to see
what benefits this brings to consumers. Theres also a
detailed look at the products that will drive sales this
year, the best gifts for gamers, and we explain how.
Field Marketing can maximise customer awareness of
in-store products. Finally there are some helpful tips on
how to ensure that your business takes full advantage
of the Christmas market and hits the ground running
in 2016.
I hope you enjoy the holidays, and Ill see you next year!

A new report from Juniper Research has revealed that the PC
market will be the main contributor to growth in the digital games
industry over the next few years. Estimated figures show that the
gaming sector will generate revenues of just over 52 billion this
year, with the PC market accounting for an impressive 42% of that
total, and project this rising to around 68 billion by the end of
2018. The cross-platform nature of Windows 10 and the Xbox One will
also contribute to a rise in the value of the console market, as
gaming borders are broken down by compatible titles such as
Microsofts Fable Legends and Gigantic.
At the moment the console sector is on course to be worth nearly
14 billion this year, but Junipers Worldwide Digital Games Market
2015-2020 report is confident that this will increase to 17.5
billion by as soon as 2018. This growth is aided by the Windows 10
factor, the emergence of new Virtual Reality technologies, and the
repositioning of consoles as a central part of home entertainment
systems. Its good news for mobile gaming too, as the continued
adoption of Smartphones and tablets, alongside the freemium model
of games like Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, and Game of War, points
strongly towards the emergent platform rising to a market share of
35% by 2020.
PCs CONTINUE TO POWER GROWTH IN THE GAMING MARKET
B.I.G Red Book Exertis Version 1 - August 2015 20
The Exertis icons have been designed to be unique to
Exertis.
The icons represent key technology areas, services areas and
vertical markets.
They are used to help visually identify information about our
business that differentiates our brand from competitors.
The graphic style for the icons is a flat, minimal, one-colour
which uses rounded geometry / square format.
When using icons in designs, the colour should remain consistent
across the whole design and should not be a mixture of light or
dark colour alternatives.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Naim has announced that its multi-award-winnning Mu-so wireless
speaker system has had its already impressive feature-set expanded,
thanks to a comprehensive software upgrade. Existing owners and new
customers alike will now be able to stream content across multiple
Mu-so devices around the house, and control the content via the
dedicated Mu-so iOS and Android apps. This enhancement works by
setting one device and the master unit, which can then send the
audio simultaneously to an additional four devices on the same
network. With systems such as SONOS gaining a wide audience thanks
to this modular approach, Mu-so customers will appreciate the added
functionality that this brings.
As a further enticement Naim is also offering a free 90-day
trial of the Tidal HiFi music streaming service, which is open to
all customers. The CD quality, lossless streaming offered by Tidal
is fully available on Mu-so, as the new software also opens up the
high resolution HLS format for existing devices. With BBC Internet
radio already broadcasting on this format, there will be plenty of
quality content available for Mu-so users to enjoy. The upgrade
also offers a few other subtle improvements, including gapless
playback, a new search feature, and an alarm clock.

The popularity of Black Friday is set to explode this year as
analysts predict that the big sale, which falls on the 27th
November, could see UK buyers spend 1bn for the first time in a
single trading day. Last year the total sales amounted to an
incredible 810m, which was 50% more than expected, leaving many
retailers struggling to keep up with the increased demand. Now
experts are warning stores to ensure they are holding sufficient
stock to avoid disappointed customers going elsewhere, with 65% of
British shoppers saying they thought retailers were not prepared
well enough last year. Cyber Monday, which falls three days after
Black Friday and is focussed mainly on web-based shopping, is also
growing at a substantial rate, attracting an increasing amount of
people who would rather miss the frantic physicality of a sale and
instead shop peacefully at home. Theres no doubt that these two
events are now firmly entrenched in the retail calendar, and
businesses that plan ahead, while possessing enough product, can
use it as a firm boost into the Christmas period. Speak to your
Exertis Retail Account Manager today to see how you can maximise
your sales in this period.

One of the fastest growing areas of technology is that of Smart
Homes, and a new report from Context suggests that UK consumers are
willing to pay more for high quality solutions than those in
Germany or France. While 36% of participants interviewed for the
report said that the current products on offer are too expensive,
11% in the UK revealed they would spend up to 1000 for the new
technology, while a further 7% said they would pay in excess of
that figure. Naturally, less expensive items appeal to a wider
audience, with 32% happy to pay up to 150, and 23% up to 250, but
it seems UK buyers are inclined to spend more if they perceive a
genuine use-case.
The overriding drive towards Smart Home technology for the
majority of these consumers relates to increased security,
convenience, and the potential to save money through intelligent
heating and energy management systems. Interestingly it isnt the
living room which consumers expect to be the Smartest first, but
instead the kitchen, followed by the bedroom, and then the living
room. While the report expects 46% of consumers to be living in
Smart Homes by 2020, there is still work to be done, as currently
62% remain unaware of the term Smart Home at all.

Personalised electric scooters are becoming increasingly common
sights on UK streets. These flat platforms with wheels at either
side allow riders to simply lean forward or back to move in those
directions, while leaving their hands free to carry bags,
umbrellas, or search for directions on their mobile phones.
Unfortunately this sudden popularity has seen a range of cheaper
models appearing, sometimes with questionable quality.
Iconbit is determined to change this, by offering its new high
quality Smart Scooter at a competitive price, ensuring that
consumers get the best deal for their money. Featuring forged steel
wheels, anti-skid silicon pedals, and an IP-certified dust and
waterproof casing, the Smart Scooter is a rugged device that can
handle the rigours of the city with ease. The large battery and 700
W brushless motor gives it an impressive 20 km range and a top
speed of 12 km p/h, plus the two hour recharge cycle means that
riders will be back on the road in no time at all. These features,
aligned with Iconbits attention to detail, make the Smart Scooter a
cut above the rivals often found populating the pages of eBay and
Amazon, and at 349.99 offers tremendous value.

With the brand new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie about to
hit cinemas, and no doubt break a few box office records in the
process, interest in the franchise is incredibly high at the
moment. Add to this a new Star Wars Battlefront game being released
on multiple formats, with the early reviews all proving very
positive indeed, and the timing is perfect for the arrival of a
Star Wars range of gaming headsets from Turtle Beach.
Customers can choose from three models, including the Star Wars
Stereo PC headset (49.99) which features 50mm closed-cup earpieces,
in-line controls, and replaceable speaker plates with different
designs, the included ones being the iconic Darth Vader. For
budding Luke Skywalkers theres the X-Wing Pilot gaming headset
(34.99), decked out in a battle-scarred orange and white of the
rebellion, with aged decals, two 40mm earpieces, and a microphone
to let everyone know why youve turned off your targeting computer.
Finally the Star Wars Battlefront Sandtrooper headset (69.99) comes
with a 3.5mm jack for plugging into console controllers and mobile
device, in-line controls, and a removable boom mic so users can
watch movies and YouTube in comfort. The force is indeed strong
with these ones. Speak to your Exertis Account Manager today about
these great products.

an average of TRENDS:
SMARTWATCH SALES COULD BE DRIVEN BY SMART
HOMES
26% of UK consumers interested in home automation have indicated
that they would like to use a smartwatch as the controlling device.
The convenience of worn technology that can monitor and instruct
multiple devices, including smart TVs, kitchen appliances, door
locks, and heating systems should be highlighted in particular to
16-34 year old men, 36% of whom have said that they would be
inclined to purchase a smartwatch rather than a traditional
one.
INTEREST IN WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY IS INCREASING
AMONG WOMEN
Up until now the Smartwatch market has been predominantly of
interest to men, but recent studies show that 17% of women are
considering purchasing a device. This growth could be attributed in
part to the Apple Watch, which was the first to offer smaller size
devices for women, something that other manufacturers have begun to
replicate. Wireless payment solutions, such as Apple Pay, could
also be a factor, as women often carry their Smartphones in bags
and would benefit from the convenience a smartwatch offers in these
situations.
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE RETURNS WITH FINANCIAL
SECURITY
For the first time since the financial crisis hit the UK,
consumers are saying that they feel better off financially this
year than they did in the previous one. The most confident group
are men aged 25-34 living in London, but the growth is spreading.
50% of the population say they feel they are at about the same
level as last year, indicating that stability is returning to the
nations finances. This confidence should start to transfer into
retail with nearly one in five people now intending to buy new
electrical equipment in the short term.
Overall, consumers are beginning to feel better off financially
than a year ago, with London-based men in the 25-34 year age
bracket the most confident. Interest in All-in-one PCs is growing,
with 54% of potential desktop buyers favouring the slim designs
over tower systems, while the launch of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
could help drive sales of smartwatches, with contactless payments
such as Apple Pay being a strong selling point.
HYBRID LAPTOPS GROWING IN POPULARITY
RETAIL TRENDS
Tablet sales may have surpassed those of desktops, but laptops
continue to be in demand. Recent research shows that they remain
the top choice for consumers, with one in three considering a
purchase in the coming year. 34% of buyers expressed interest in
hybrid devices, while 42% were unsure of their desire for a
multiple format device. The arrival of Windows 10 provides
retailers with an excellent opportunity to influence the undecided.
In-store demonstrations of features like Continuum - which
automatically switch devices between tablet and laptop modes - are
likely to be key selling points, especially among consumers aged
16-44, a third of whom expressed appearance and design as an
important factor when purchasing a new machine.
TOWER UNITS CONTINUE TO APPEAL TO GAMERS
The demands of modern games, with intricately detailed HD
graphics and frantic on-screen action, means that many hardcore
gamers still prefer tower units to the more widely popular
all-in-ones or laptops. With their ability to be upgraded, easier
cooling solutions, and superior processing power, the traditional
PCs are the favoured option among men aged 16-34, 74% of which said
that they would be interested in a tower unit if they bought a
desktop in the coming year.

Christmas 2015 is shaping up to be an exciting end to the retail
calendar, with a number of huge releases and cool technological
innovations sure to tempt shoppers looking for the perfect gift. At
Exertis were very proud to offer an incredible range of products
from a wealth of manufacturers this year, and have no doubt that
there will be something for everybody and every budget in our
catalogue.
WEVE FOUND THE BEST NEW ENTERTAINMENT
GADGETS AND ELECTRONIC TOYS
Gadgets have always been a great way for technology fans to
relax or be creative, and this year weve been busy sourcing some
truly wonderful and entertaining devices. One of the real breakout
products in 2015 was that of drones. These remote control flying
machines are fantastic for all ages, thanks to being fun and easy
to fly. Budding film-makers have already seen the possibilities,
attaching small cameras to them in order to get impressive aerial
shots, and the same idea can liven up many a home movie or Facebook
post.
While its possible to spend thousands on high end models, there
are thankfully some pocket friendly alternatives that still give
customers
a flavour of these features. The Parrot MiniDrone-Hydrofoil is
one example, with its ability to fly at speeds up to 18km per hour,
and skim across water without capsizing. An embedded stills camera
also allows the user to capture special moments from unusual
angles, and all for a very reasonable 139.99.

vertical markets.
They are used to help visually identify information about our
business that differentiates our brand from competitors.

which uses rounded geometry / square format.
When using icons in designs, the colour should remain consistent
across the whole design and should not be a mixture of light or

Of course users dont need a drone to get great film footage.
Youtube is awash with breathtaking videos, many of which are shot
on rugged little units that can be attached to bikes, cars,
helmets, or even goats!
This years IFA consumer electronics show had a large number of
these devices being introduced by Sony, Panasonic, GoPro, and a
host of others, suggesting that this sector is set to grow rapidly
in the coming year. The Kaiser Baas X80 Action Camera (99.99) is
one such device, offering Full HD even underwater.
Another huge hit at IFA was virtual reality headsets. While the
name has been around for a long time, finally the technology has
improved to the point where a customers Smartphone becomes the
screen.
Now the user simply inserts their device into something like the
Homido Smartphone VR headset (59.99), launches one of the dedicated
apps, and its instantly transformed into a virtual reality machine.
Samsung, Microsoft, Google, and many others already know the
potential in this area, with heavy investment and new products
confirming their confidence.
Perhaps the most unusual product weve seen this year, that
really impressed us with its sense of fun and sheer uniqueness, is
the Kaiser Baas Revo Glider (499.99). This motorised, twin-wheel
platform is akin to a skateboard from the future. Riders control it
by leaning forward or backward, with gyroscopes ensuring they stay
upright. It can go for twelve miles on a single charge, which
should make popping to the shops far more entertaining.
GAMING IS WHAT WE DO BEST
At Exertis were passionate about gaming, and theres plenty to
excite us this Christmas with the arrival of massive titles, new
hardware, and innovative gadgets in our warehouse.
The release of Windows 10 has been very good news for gamers, as
it introduced the ability to stream games from an Xbox One to a PC.
This new compatibility has also seen the emergence of products like
the Linx Vision (149), a Windows 10 tablet that comes with a
removable Xbox controller dock and allows players to stream Xbox
One games or play Windows 10 games directly on the device. The Xbox
One itself has also seen the introduction of an upgraded 1TB
version of the console, double that of its previous incarnation,
which we think will be a strong performer at the checkout. Of
course the games themselves are the most important factor, and this
year sees a number of high profile releases that will no doubt fly
off the shelves. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5 Guardians,
Assassins Creed: Syndicate, Forza 6, Fallout 4 and Rainbow 6 will
all have mass appeal
to hardcore gamers, while WWE 2K16 and Just Dance 16 should keep
the little ones busy on Christmas morning.
Gaming isnt just about saving the universe or setting new lap
times, in some cases it can also be an effective way of teaching
children how to grow in confidence with maths, literacy, and art.
OSMO (69.99) is an award-winning educational system that works on
an iPad, using the built-in camera, to make learning fun and
interactive. Built by young parents out of Google and Stanford, its
an excellent way to harness the potential of a tablet, while
developing childrens understanding of complex problems. Plus its
very affordable and simple to use.
BOX OFFICE BLOCKBUSTERS THAT LOOK GOOD FOR
BUSINESS
Its not often that you get so many huge franchises all releasing
at the same time, but this Christmas is certainly one of epic
proportions and is sure to drive sales. Of course the most notable
is the first new Star Wars movie in over a decade. The Force
Awakens is directed by J.J.Abrams, who did a fantastic job
rebooting the Star Trek franchise in recent
years, and is already causing immense interest among fans. As
Star Wars pretty much invented the film merchandising industry, you
can expect a raft of tie-in promotions and branded products that
will be top of many Christmas lists.
James Bond also comes to cinemas this year in Spectre. After the
massive success of Skyfall, much is expected of Englands most
famous secret agent, and returning director Sam Mendes looks set to
deliver. As this is a Sony Picture, there will be many high profile
Sony products featured prominently in
Spectre, such as the mobile phones, laptops, and tablets we saw
in Skyfall. Of course as Exertis has a strong partnership with Sony
well be ready to meet the demand right through the Christmas
period.
DVD and Blu-Ray sales will also benefit from the upcoming AAA
titles, with offerings such as Jurassic World, Mad Max: Fury Road,
Terminator Genisys, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and The Walking Dead:
Season 5, all sure to be ideal stocking fillers.
