I expected (and still expect) a deluge of "well, that means that 4K Blu-ray IS important" comments. 

 

The sad truth is that physical sales are flagging. I don't think they'll go away within the next decade, but as someone who supported Blu-ray heavily when it first came out, even I can't deny that streaming movies is more convenient than buying them on disc. I still buy Blu-rays, but only when I want to watch them on my digital projector, where the quality is more evident. I'm not going to pretend that most people have 100 inch screens in their homes (though more really should, for the price, projectors are awesome). 

I still support blu-ray, yet my buying habits have decreased a lot too. That has more to do with having already upgraded all the movies I wanted to and current movies coming out lacking in quality imo. Upgrading those movies again to 4K is not worth it, only for the handful of 70mm movies. Plus a 4K tv would be a step back for me compared to watching on a 1080p projector. 4K projectors are still far too expensive.

I completely agree, especially with the bolded. 4k blu-rays would only be worth it to me once 4k projectors become within my financial reach, which is going to be years (and years) from now.
