Bad choice of words on my part. Instead of "dies" I should have said "sales collapse". Prices and alternate methods hurt UMD sales.

It's too bad they didn't use a Mini-disc form factor. Hi-MD for one layer would have been awesome. Mini-disc recorders are USB PC burners too. And discs would be $2 each by now. Or, make the PSP a Mini-disc recorder itself, rather than just a player. It would have been a massive new shot of life.
