With physical media declining, and DVDs selling way more than blu and 4K combined, will 4K be the last for physical media discs? I can see one to two more upgrades, but I think production will be very limited.
Is 4K the last step for physical media discs?

The issue is that DVDs last forever and unless you have a higher end tv/player, the blu ray isn’t a significant enough upgrade for most people.

Its a travesty they never sunset them.
This doesn't even make sense breh. DVDs were for standard def TV. We've all had HDTVs for 10-15 years. Many of us now UHD and some even 8K.

you’re over estimating how many people have upgraded or feel the need to upgrade. My mom had a floor model TV until 2014. There are way more people like her, that don’t replace shyt until it breaks than people copping new shyt. That’s the group of people still buying DVDs.
You'd be surprised at how many people especially older ones still watch shyt in standard. Hell I have a few aunts and uncles who have HDTV and a few UHD TVs and still watch shyt in 480P. They just don't know how utilize the tech they have and think the bigger the screen the more HD it is. but they have them hooked up to their DVD player from 2000.

plus more than anything some places like amazon say you dont really own the movies you are buying to stream on demand. As a collector i cant trust streaming only still
people had vhs collections for like 30 years and dvd's to 4k transition was roughly less than half that time...
it became pointless to keep upgrading a physical collection of movies in the dvd era. movies unlike music quality keeps getting better with new formats
in contrast I can still stock up on vinyl old or new whereas with movies old shyt is significantly worse for use quality wise. with music it appreciates..
