Whether it’s high definition televisions, new entertainment hubs - such as the Sony PlayStation 3, digital TV tuners, or any one of a host of new gadgets that are changing the world in front of our eyes, retailers that sell this gear should motor along nicely. And so it was for Comet, with its parent company Kesa, announcing a 9.5 percent rise in like for like sales in the three months to the end of October, with underlying sales at Comet up 10.9 percent.
Comet is not a lone star shooting across the viewing habits of BSkyB customers and their like. Earlier this week DSG, the company formerly known as Dixons said that sales in the 28 weeks to Nov 11 were up 14 percent.
