this is pretty much the trend since the beginning of the year. DVD down, Blu-ray up in the USA. So we might want to start the DVD is DOOMED threads now. |
Oh look, a chart based on revenue! What a completely skewed picture! Lets see Revenue does not equal profits. Also worth noting DVD players and DVD movie prices are cheaper and have likely gotten cheaper since last year, so their "revenue" will of course fall. Blu-Ray revenue should have also fallen slightly given to price decreases, but at the same time it should increase due to higher demand by those price reductions.
The DVD player market is so saturated and yet it still claims 90% of the revenue which undoubtedly comes from mostly disc sales. So when most new DVD's are $15-20 and then drop down to $10-15 after a few months, it is pretty clear why the revenue would be slightly decreasing on DVD and slightly increasing on the $30 Blu-Ray disc sales.
