It is no secret that the Blu-ray is in frank decline. In the world of video games, the new PlayStation 5 Pro has dispensed with the record reader (although you can Buy one for 120 euros), and Microsoft has launched a digital version of the Xbox Series X with 1 TB of storage, following the same path that its main competitor.
To this we must add that most people consume content through streaming platforms. Buying a movie in Blu-ray is already a few thing. In case it was not enough, more and more companies stop producing these albums, and Sony has been one of the last to make that decision. But not everything is lost verbatim has something to say.
Calm
In a press release, the company of American origin and now in the hands of a Taiwanese firm, has acknowledged that the optical disc market is experiencing “a turning point”, and that the supply is being reduced. However, they plan to “respond to customer confidence through a Stable supply“Of your products.
Verbatim says he will continue working so that his Blu-ray albums continue to reach customers. The firm says that it has built a manufacturing system that incorporates “advanced technologies established in Japan and carries out an exhaustive quality control to develop high quality optical discs worldwide on a world scale.”
The company says that Io Data will keep its role as the unique Optical support distributor in Japan. As we can see, the publication is very directed to the public of the Asian country, but also mentions in other lines its business worldwide. Touch to wait to know if verbatim’s Blu-ray records will overcome the Japanese borders.
When we talk about verbatim we are referring to a brand that has a presence in at least 120 countries. Its main business is storage, being the CD, DVD and Blu-ray important part of its catalog. Some time ago, the firm has also incorporated USB storage units and SSD records.
One of the most notable blows that Blu-ray received was product in his own home. Sony, creator of the format, announced on its Japanese page that would stop producing these albums. “We would like to express our most sincere thanks to our many customers who have used our service so far,” said the company.
Blu-ray glory times have been smaller than those of other formats, such as CD. This may be due to many factors, but one determining has been arose when Internet access was massifying. Despite the abandonment by several actors in the industry, Blu-ray will remain alive for a long time for many users.
Those with a video game console compatible with this format, such as PlayStation 4, can continue enjoying their disco collection while the device works. On the other hand, it begins to open the collector’s doorwhere some will retain Blu-ray discs and players for, among other things, their historical value.
