Not so much limited, just gluttoning up the market. Once Image paved the way, everybody was getting in on the game. Of course then Marvel/DC had to respond and the market, basically, imploded on itself. Shops were stuck trying to move product and were selling for pennies on the dollar. Pretty soon, the same thing can happen to the steelbook market....although I hope not.
