In 2008 SACD+DVD sales were less than 25% of LP sales. LP's are holding
on, but just barely. 25% of just barely is not "even a good sized niche".
That was 3 years ago and things have only gotten worse for the SACD and
DVD-A. Lots worse.

Yep, but music video DVD's and Blu-ray accounts for a good size market now.
Most people simply see no point in paying more for a DVD without video. And
the better Music video DVD's have a PCM soundtrack as well as surround sound
and video. All for less than the cost of the equivalent CD in some cases.
Less than the cost of SACD and DVDA in nearly all cases, here at least.
