In Reply to: Mick , I must correct you . The Elvis DVD-A sold about 15,000 copies in the first 3 weeks.... posted by ZS KEKL on March 19, 2003 at 15:14:57:
I doubt BMG's announced DVD-A's for this year will sell anywhere near to their first DVD-A release of "ELV1S", which coincidentally was released in a regular jewel case - despite redbook incompatibility!People have to remember that this DVD-A was released on the heels of a huge marketing push (the biggest ever since Elvis' death) that BMG had orchestrated worldwide for their first-ever #1 CD by the King.
I think I read somewhere that most DVD-A's usually sell a few thousand copies on average only (we're talking about a niche market here, certainly not mainstream).
