Anime DVD & Blu-ray Sales Recovers in the 1st Half of Fiscal 2009
As we all know not a lot of people support the anime industry one way or another, as a result, the anime DVD and Blu-ray sales decreased by 12% and the market has been having a pessimistic prospect for the industry.
According to the report of Japan Video Software Association (JVA), the total sales of the anime DVD and Blu-ray in the first half of fiscal year 2009 increased by 2.3% compared to those of the last year.
Blu-ray sales definitely increase a lot this year. Could be due to the fact that anime releases are getting more extra episodes – to urge fans to buy the originals. Hopefully with the launch of PS3 Slim, and seeing that the PS3 sales are doing well in Japan, blu-ray will dominate the market! XD. So, maybe the sales of Anime Blu-rays will increase since the PS3 and Blu-rays are complements =P.

If they start putting anime on Blu-ray fiting a whole season on 1 disc at 1 low price, that will make me want to go out and buy more =P
