You certainly have a way of taking what I said and taking it out of context.
He asked... "What will appear after DVD?"
And your answer is ????
My answer is posted above. BluRay will hold us over for now but it is enough. Nobody is going to invest in yet another format, it is not needed.
"Blu ray sales are going up every year"
You can cherry pick your statistics and yes BluRay is up but overall sales are down.
"They aren't going away anytime soon."
I didn't say they were going away "soon." He asked about the future, and in the future they are going away except perhaps for a niche market like the LP.
At some point bandwidth will be so cheap that physical media will be pointless. Barring a worldwide economic collapse it is inevitable. Google is putting in gigabit service to the home in Kansas City as we speak. You can quote an increase in LP sales all you want but you know that it is still a pittance.
In the foreseeable future there will still be some diehards who want DVDs just like there are some of us diehards who still buy records, but for the general population it will be streaming.
So answer his question...... what will appear after DVD?
