RE: DVD sales shrunk in 2008 for the first year since the format's launch

Posted by bubbles on April 14, 2008 at 13:57:43:
The DVD format was shrinking for the last few years, before Blu-Ray came about. In fact, that's the reason Blu-Ray and HD-DVD was created - because the studios got greedy with the new revenue stream of selling movies and the decline made them try to generate more sales.

Can't believe you're going by analysts predictions. These analysts change their predictions every month based on recent data. When Blu-Ray sales fail to take a major push, they'll adjust their predictions again.

DVD isn't going away, and Blu-Ray will remain a niche. Take that to the bank.
