Why the Disc Format Has yet to Die for Some TV Series

The chart on the article is nicely balanced by their chart on anther article about who's losing their shorts in the streaming wars: https://variety.com/vip/will-paramount-and-peacocks-pivots-b...

My takeaway was that this is largely correlated to "not making as much from streaming, gotta make it up in physical media". Disney's middle finger to physical media releases matches their wins through streaming (maybe the losses in the chart don't mean as much for them as the dominance/share from positive sales does?).

I like movies and TV on disc. I like it that they won’t go away if I unsubscribe or the video is removed from circulation.

Funny I bought a VCR for $15 from the local ‘reuse center’ which also sells prerecorded tapes for 50 cents. The quality is not as bad as I expected it to be, particular VHS HiFi is pretty good although Dolby Pro Logic II is not as good as discrete formats for surround sound.

Article doesn’t really answer why though.
