DVD-Audio Sales Five Times that of SACD Says RIAA Survey
DVD-Audio sales doubled in 2003 and are more than five times that of
SACD, according to an RIAA survey - that is the news from the DVD-Audio
council circulated today:

In a world where a drop in music sales is the expected norm,
DVD-Audio, the leading high-resolution audio format, bucked the trend, more
than doubling its sales in 2003, according to the RIAA's 2003 consumer
survey released recently.

DVD-Audio offers surround sound and stereo along with images, lyrics,
videos and other extras, and is compatible with existing DVD-Video players,
delivering the highest level of quality on DVD-Audio/Video players.

The RIAA survey concludes that DVD-Audio sales in 2003 were over five
times the level of competing high-resolution audio disc formats, with a 2.7%
market share - up from 1.3% in 2002 - in comparison to SACD's 0.5%.

John Trickett President of the DVD Audio Council said "The growth in
DVD-Audio demonstrates that the format is being rapidly adopted and poised
to move into mainstream music sales. This is clearly a product that the
consumer wants to buy. The increasing number of titles being released by
many labels including releases by superstar artists such as Britney Spears,
R. Kelly, Sting, The Who and Neil Young will further help the development of
music in DVD Audio. We are very excited about the future."

The RIAA survey also showed continued growth in sales to older
consumers, with 26.6% made by buyers 45 years old and up, 35+ purchasers
making up 47.8% of all sales. "They are one of the two primary markets for
DVD-Audio," said Trickett. "DVD-Audio is also becoming popular among younger
consumers for the added-value music videos, artist commentaries and web
links that are often found on the discs - a market segment where
conventional music sales are falling."

For the RIAA survey, Peter Hart research questioned over 2,900
consumers in the USA. Over 730 DVD-Audio titles are currently available.

Og hvor mange av disse var hybridutgaver hvor kjøperen ikke kan
eller bryr seg om at platen inneholdt noe på formatet DVD-audio?

Så mange år etter lanseringen og fremdeles langt under "sperregrensen"?
Tro hvor lenge man vil vente før man gir opp?

Faktisk ikke! Om det er den US marked det er snakk om selges det langt
flere SACD'er enn DVD-Audio. Se her:

DVD Audio Unit Shipments
2003 - 0.4 Million copies and $8.0 Million in dollar value
Super Audio CD Unit Shipments
2003 - 1.3 Million copies and $26.3 Million in dollar value

[...].

...But the RIAA report does indicate that the format [SACD] out shipped DVD
Audio during 2003 by a 3X factor in terms of unit copies and a slightly
higher factor in terms of dollar value.
