YouTube says it's looking to grow revenue by selling music and video games to its users. Users watching music videos or game videos will be able to click through to buy the song or game directly, instead of searching for the media on their own. Rather than host the files itself, the company is going to push its users to Amazon's MP3 and video games store, as well as Apple's iTunes store.
