If it cannot be accurate, then why bother posting it?

Many people also consider digitial downloads to be of more value as well. You can't just assume everyone wants a physical copy. I would say its a matter of convenience as cars are starting to be MP3 compatible and they are also starting to carry storage for peoples music/video files but this is a transition in progress. Transitions take time, people are still replacing their old CRT screens with thinner HDTV models for instance.

The reason why DVD is a big hill to climb is due to the 1000* difference in size between a movie and a video clip. It has nothing to do with a desire for collection as only <20% are attached to the fact that they own a physical copy, its simply a lack of convenience. The digital distribution model for movies is simply waiting on the price/storage space model for flash to improve and it will enter the market as a rental service first because it would mean you can turn your rental store into a kiosk and Red Box it.

Oh and never say never.

much like any tracking data it's accurate as much of the sample data they have. so why even be here on this site if you think that way?

just like you cannot assume everyone want's Digital download's.

I gave my opinion as you have your's.

if collecting has nothing to do with it why offer a physical disc at all?

it's in people's nature to collect thing's.

that why there is physical media in the first place, if people did not want to collect thing's the movies would just stay in theatre's

collecting I would say is a much larger part of it than what you claiming.

 

Vgchartz actually tracks the market in a representative fashion. That was not representative of the market it was simply FUD.

Im not assuming everyone wants DD, im assuming that most people will pick the convenient solution. Currently physical media is more convenient. The reason for physical media is convenience even if a few people like to collect things. I know someone who collects games, and he gets very upset at the thought of losing his collection and they are all pirated downloads. When downloads become the convenient solution then a majority of people will use that source for their media.

wait a min..FUD...Home Media magazine also tracks the market in a representative fashion just  like VGchartz do though they do it for Mainly Movies instead of Video Game's. Home Media magazine  is quite respected. do not try to pull out that card of it was not representative of the market. that's like saying NPD is not. they are all tracking services.

as for Convenient being the main drive..once again collecting is. and Digital Downloads require a high bandwidth , which is being capped.

So I don't see how that's going to be anymore Convenient as for getting physical Media at the brick an mortar store's as you can do right now.

when the ISP's keep capping the speed for internet.
