    Different divisions. This is more akin to when Sony decided to stop making floppy disks. The market is there for now, but it’s just not worth it from a financial perspective.

    The amount of people burning their own blu rays is minimal. Even the type of people who emphasize owning their own content just use a NAS system.

      Ironically Japan is just now phasing out floppies, so there’ll still be a market for a while.

      A NAS is mostly geared for online media storage, whereas disks are for offline.
