Until I started seeing this graphic weekly on all, I greatly overestimated blu-ray’s market share. I find it surprising given the ubiquity of higher definition televisions and blu-ray players.
As stated in previous threads, there are lots of reasons why DVDs are still popular today:
- Unawareness of, or indifference to, DVDs’ subpar video/audio quality.
- For most people, DVDs “just work”.
- Studios and manufacturers did a poor job of educating the public about the different formats.
- Streaming/digital is too convenient for the public to consider physical media.
- People are unable/unwilling to upgrade their tech.
- DVDs are cheaper and more ubiquitous than Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs.
Also people bought them many years ago and they are still chugging along, so they have no desire to upgrade.
