In short: both digital and physical can coexist, marketed and designed for different consumers.

Movies on disc will go on a long time. Some movies might go digital only, and many TV shows probably will, but the market will go on for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone who cares more about quality than the average Joe. The question is, will it be BD, UHD BD or something else entirely that dominates the niche market of the future?

My local Barnes & Noble just put in a long section of vinyl a couple of weeks ago. I stood there and said huh? The salesperson said they're selling more and more vinyl every day. With customers requesting more titles daily.
