actually DVD sales have slowen down some.

Do we have any evidence of that?

 

home digital magazines had an article about how DVD sales were stablizing and slowly go down. I doubt ill be able to find the article since its been a few months and they do weekly articles. Its the same group that puts out the Neilson Vision Scan numbers for Blu-ray vs HD-DVD every week.

Even if this is the case there is no reason to believe that this is because people are losing interest in the format ...

Everyone and their dog owns a DVD player and at this point in time the only reason to buy a new DVD player is because your existing DVD player is broken; slowing hardware sales could reflect that people buying their first DVD players (or additional DVD players for there house) is shrinking because the format has reached its maximum sales potential.

At the same time most people have fully upgraded their VHS libraries to DVD by now and the release of the 'Extra-Special Edition Star Wars Trillogy: Now Even More Destroyed' has a far smaller sales impact that previous re-releases of movies did.

 well according to the article from what I remember the sighted growing trends of video on demand channels, digital downloads, and the HD formats as the causes of the slowdown.
