b) Tax rates on gaming firms : A change in the tax rate on the gaming firm would lead to a change in the profitability of the business and thus would change the supply of gaming consoles.
c) Prices of gaming consoles : If there is a rise in the price of gaming consoles, the profitability increases and thus the supply also increases.
d) Demand for PC games : If demand for PC games rise, then producers would start shifting their production from console games to PC games leading to a fall in supply of console games.
