You do realize that DVD did the same thing right? It was the format that "nobody needed". It had mroe space, was easier to play and more protected against damage like Blu-ray is to DVD and the response was the same "fprced" format.
Newsflash folks, it's not forced yet. Maybe you forgot when DVD really killed VHS and major movies went DVD only. Or how players stopped being sold in stores. When that happens, it's forced. And eventually, it will be forced.
VHS had 100% of the market before DVD rolled in and now DVDs time is done. It's no different. You can either adapt or be left behind because eventually, all the movies and such will be on Blu-ray or nothing unless there's yet another format out there by that point (Which is where people think digital distribution will set in, personally, I'm not paying for data without a physical product myself, especially when teh cost while different, isn't that great).
