DVD sales and rentals are down, so it's not a surprise that fewer consumers are buying DVD players. Sales of DVD and Blu-ray players totaled 21.3 million in 2012, down 20.1% from a year prior and down 24.8% from 2010, according to research firm SNL Kagan.
DVD的銷售和租賃都在走下坡路,因此,購買DVD播放器的消費者減少也并不讓人意外。研究公司SNL Kagan 的數據顯示,2012年DVD和藍光播放器銷量總計2,130萬臺,較上年和2010年分別減少20.1%和24.8%。
Instead, experts say, consumers are increasingly streaming movies from Internet-based subscription services like Hulu and Netflix. Gamers can also use their consoles, such as the Xbox One and PlayStation4, to watch DVDs.
專家們表示,越來越多的消費者通過Hulu和Netflix等基于互聯網的訂閱服務串流電影。游戲玩家還能用Xbox One和PlayStation4等游戲主機來看DVD。
