The revolution will have to wait streaming

A study shows that the NDP Blu-ray and DVD media are choices for consumers who prefer to streaming media such widely. The study is limited to the United States, but appears to reflect a trend that is found everywhere. 78% of the money spent by households for watching movies at home is going to buy Blu-ray or DVD and only 15% is allocated to streaming.

Contrary to what the signs gave the impression a few years ago (see "Samsung and Netflix: the end of Blu-ray?"), The revolution will take time streaming and disks still have a bright future ahead of them. Although it is still largely dominated by DVD, Blu-ray is still relevant for several reasons.

The average consumer often seems to prefer a disk file intangible tangible and enthusiasts choose this medium for the quality of image, sound, subtitles, documentaries and bonus found with the film and which are not available for streaming (see "The psychological effect of the disc: Blu-ray still has a chance?").

According to the report, the DVD sales would decline, but it just deport the problem to the Blu-ray technology that is becoming more affordable. It should take a step back from this study is very limited, but provides a first interesting analysis.
