Cypher1980 on 14 December 2008
VHS lasted from 1979 to 1998
19 years at the top. DVD has lasted 10 already !
It may well have another 5 years as the dominant format possibly more.
I just dont think Blu Ray will be the successor. It has launched right in the middle of the DVD success story.
DVD isnt ready to lay down and die right now. By the time it is better more relevant formats will be available.
Also launching a format in the middle of a worldwide recession is the Dumbest Business move since they changed the Coke flavour in the eighties.
