@@megamikethemovieman Probably because of the cheap convenience as well as having exclusive features not passed onto the Blu Ray. Not only that but the nostalgia factor of the DVD will always remain strong compared to that of the HD and now 4K formats
The reason why dvds are still king is that the studios backed the DVD 📀 format 💯 percent. Unlike the bluray & 4k format witch is around 50 to 65 percent. And on top of that there is still not as many catalog titles available on bluray. Unlike DVD there's 100s of titles that are still only available on DVD 📀. All I am saying is if all the studios backed bluray format more then they are doing now. Dvds 📀 would not be as big & personally I think blurays would have taken over the market by now. And we would only have blurays & 4ks mostly on the market by now. If the studios would have supported the HD format more then they did
Indirect question Mike. (No right or wrong answer.) Do you think this is making a major impact? Even if you like DVDs 📀, it's hard to ignore digital copies are often cheaper. 🤔 And of course you don't have to worry about shipping costs. 🤔 If I'm on the fence about a film, I am tempted to go digital. 🤔
Depends on the movie. I’ve seen times where physical discs are cheaper than digital and plus you get to have them for a lot longer since with digital they can disappear any time. So digital would seem more like renting right?
@@megamikethemovieman I (knock on wood) haven't had that problem yet. But then even regular DVDs can go out of print. I guess if you want to drive the point further, you could ask yourself if bootlegged DVDs are the future.
Less super expensive speacial releases and more cheaper normal releasez and bluray/4K numbers might start rising. Still dvd is my format, no matter what.
@@megamikethemovieman prices for speacial releases are now reasonable. My point was, only wealthy collectors buy those. And because of that bluray and 4K sell numbers are so low. More basic releases with a price tags of 5-20€, people will buy those. But, like a movie Last Dragon... tbey released it around here 🇫🇮 only as a basic 4k/bd combo, price was over 50€ plus shipping... no thank you.
Here in Australia, a lot of new 4k coming out are $50-$80. So i think here that has somehting to do with why they don't sell that well. 4k seems to be PURELY a collectors market whereas I think dvds are still biught by many non collectors who just wanna watch the movie.
That will be very small fluctuations. I think either might movie by at least 5%. I think May has some popular titles coming out to Blu-ray and 4K. Any movies you already planning to pickup in May?
The reason why DVDs are still dominating the market still. After bluray's have been on the market for 15 years plus now. Is that there is still not enough catalog titles available on bluray or 4k still. And after being on the market for over 15 years now. And if all the studios would back blurays & 4ks like they all did when DVDs came out on the market. Blurays would have a bigger market share now & 4ks would be around 20 to 25 percent in the market sales & bluray's market sales would be around 45 to 55 percent in the market sales. And DVDs would be around 25 percent in the market sales. If all the studios would have surported blurray' & 4k like they did with DVD format. But all the studios did not even try to there best to be behind bluray or 4k 100 percent just around 45 percent and that is sad
@@megamikethemovieman no I think if the studios would have released more catalog titles on bluray and slowly cut back on dvds releases. And yes do combo packs for 4ks and blurays releases. And releases more action Syfy fantasy horror & some drama on 4k that still have not made the leap from dvd to 4k yet and releases more comedys & family films on bluray. And just push the bluray & the 4k market more and give people the choice bluray or 4k and dvds. But I think if all the studios wear behind bluray & 4ks like they wear with dvds. I really think dvds would not be as big in the market sales now. Just a last resort if someone wants to just watch a movie once in a blue moon. And hard core collector would not even look at dvd now. Bc they would just be happy buying blurays or 4ks. If we had at least half of the catalog titles that are still only on dvd still. Or dvd could have been like laser disk market and be gone by now. And we could just have only blurays & 4ks on the market now
With 4K seems like don’t put all in same basket very sensitive to handle because of extra layers of information and better to have same like but less trouble as standard bluray and dvd s it appears!”
Me too. I only have the 4K slip but that steelbook did look awesome! Actually the movie looks really good in 4K. You fan of the movie? I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea 🤣
@@megamikethemovieman I love that movie! Takes me back to my teenage years. I remember my Aunt (rip) came back from the movie with my uncle and said it was the worst movie she ever seen. lol I saw it and loved it. Great movie!
Yeah, I’ve been ordering Brays the past couple months and getting them at thrift stores. I knew about ten years ago when i returned my last blockbuster rental that this amazing deal we were getting of just paying for the movie you want to watch was coming to an end. This is why the powers that be want you to pay monthly for a “lifetime rental”, so you can’t lend a movie to a friend/family for free. I even bought 2 PlayStation 4’s that I kept in a box to play them in. I’m just glad that everyone is opening their eyes to this.
@@megamikethemovieman I do. But I’ve cut back in the last year. I’ve been waiting on sales. Very few do I preorder anymore tho. I have preordered a couple of steelbooks and glad I did. Some of them sell out before release date
What does everyone think of the physical media numbers?
They're my favorite videos!
DVD's still king to this day! Crazy how this format still kicks butt!
It’s wild for sure!! What do you think is the number 1 reason DVD remains King?
@@megamikethemovieman Probably because of the cheap convenience as well as having exclusive features not passed onto the Blu Ray. Not only that but the nostalgia factor of the DVD will always remain strong compared to that of the HD and now 4K formats
@@megamikethemoviemanbecause it’s way cheaper that’s why people still buy dvds.

Because they're like 0.2 cents to produce and dosent require a special player like Blu Ray
Blu-ray are my favorite.
What's up Mike have you see Deadpool And Wolverine Trailer 2, That's was freaking AWESOME!!!
What’s up movie friend! I’ve been trying to avoid the trailer and all spoilers so I’m super surprised during the movie, you know?
DVD now over 70%😉
What you think is causing that?
DVDs..bruh.....foundation of ALL this madness...& I'm part of the....statistic
Do you collect only DVDs?

I bet I’ll get Madame web on 4k in fact the price went down from 50 dollars to 30 dollars wow 🤯
Are you picking up the steelbook or slipcover?
@@megamikethemovieman I’m more towards slipcovers maybe from Amazon

About what would be a reasonable price for the special editions and what price for the normal editions?

Do you collect much of those 4Ks at those prices?
No surprises . It’s slumping now because no group of appealing titles are coming out.
Agreed. Where are all the movies at?
I’m predicting Blu-ray to go up another percent UHD down negative .5 in may
That will be very small fluctuations. I think either might movie by at least 5%. I think May has some popular titles coming out to Blu-ray and 4K. Any movies you already planning to pickup in May?
I collect mainly DVDs but even I'm amazed at those DVD numbers. What are the titles that make up those numbers? TV shows? Cool video Mike!👉🙂👈
I think it’s anything released on DVD, so it would have to include tv too right?
@@megamikethemovieman yeah I guess.

Yep I got Alien in 4k to go with Aliens in 4k.
Nice! What’s your favorite between the 2?
@@megamikethemoviemanAliens!
With 4K seems like don’t put all in same basket very sensitive
to handle because of extra
layers of information and
better to have same like
but less trouble as standard
bluray and dvd s it appears!”
Do you think the common consumer knows that and try’s to avoid 4K because?
Could be or not and maybe gravitate
to looking for 4K sources on streaming
channels when could.
I need a Howard the Duck steelbook edition!!
Me too. I only have the 4K slip but that steelbook did look awesome! Actually the movie looks really good in 4K. You fan of the movie? I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea 🤣

It’s slumping now that only a few titles are coming out.
Not sure what happened, felt Spring last year had some more titles?
There was a HUGE leap from DVD to Blu-ray in regards to video and audio……………..not so much from Blu-ray to 4kHD.
So do you collect mostly Blu-ray’s now?
Yeah, I’ve been ordering Brays the past couple months and getting them at thrift stores.

These extra high prices for 4k’s isn’t helping at all
Ya inflation is tough right now on physical media. Do you pick up much 4Ks?
@@megamikethemovieman I do. But I’ve cut back in the last year. I’ve been waiting on sales. Very few do I preorder anymore tho. I have preordered a couple of steelbooks and glad I did. Some of them sell out before release date
@@slate49 I do the same thing. Unless it’s a limited edition steelbook, I try to be looking for that deal.
@@megamikethemovieman that’s the way to do it! Thnx for the content you post. I’ve enjoyed see the charts and percentages on sales.
@@slate49 Thank you for watching and enjoying the content movie friend, you are much appreciated too.
Why is dvd still made? It's like printing ps2 games. HD has been the standard for like 16 years for crying out loud.
Because that format keeps selling. Why do you think DVD is still selling so much?
