Influences & Product Planning/Video Games Week 2

I feel like social media and the television have a huge impact on today's world and influence what we the people buy. Price ranges and availability also have an influence on what we buy. If there is a product for a child they are usually colorful and have characters on them for example. The video game industry would be a cash cow because consumers aren't really going out and buying them. When I say video game industry I mean not only the games but the consoles as well as their accessories.
