How can DVD still have the majority market share when it was superceded like 20 years ago?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

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.
