Considering the crappy work Funimation tends to deliver it's much less than European distributors has to do. Besides that high def is comming whether you want it or not. Basically distributors now just mention their format in order to force a quicker outcome of the war. The more distributors choose one format the better it is for the consumer. The consumer has no benefit from several formats mostly since most consumers don't even care what format it will become they just want to play it on their machine no matter what format it is. |
Not needing to sell alot of DVD's is relative. Many anime series loss money in the US. Geneon had to close due to loses. And I have heard from a distributor source that there is concern that another major distributor may have to close if sales don't pick up soon. I just think they need to wait until their financial position improves before they start taking these kind of risks. I don't want to loose any more anime companies.
