DVD sure, but why Bluray? They’re actually good…
I don’t think most people have a device that can play disks anymore it’s kind of crazy to think about but I haven’t owned something with a disk drive in several years apart from a old cd player I found in the ewaste I keep at work because I don’t want to throw it away
Xbox Series X and PS5 both have 4K / Blu Ray / DVD capabilities.
And I own neither of these. PC all the way. Last time I had a disc drive was 2008.
Xbox and PlayStation can both play Bluray, so a lot of people still have the option. But who cares if most people don’t want them? Most people don’t want a Chromebook, but they carry those.
This generation has diskless versions though.
If you look at the sale numbers, the overwhelming majority of people aren’t buying disks for movies and games, and when people buy consoles with optional drives, they usually end up buying the cheaper digital only version.
It’s a bummer, but the sales are what they are.
