Default SACD & DVD-A Is this how you define market failure?

http://www.audiorevolution.com/news/...dvda_sacd.html

"The RIAA has recently released a sales report for recorded music for 2003,
along with comparisons to years past, for all recorded media. CD sales still
ruled supreme in 2003, with nearly 756 million total discs sold.

"DVD-Audio sales remained stagnant in 2003, with a 0.08 percent increase in
sales to approximately 400,000, says the RIAA's "2003 Yearend Statistics"
report.

"SACD sales were tracked for the first time in 2003, showing 1.3 million
discs sold during the year.

After more than enough years (at least 3) for DVD-A and SACD to make an
impression on the marketplace:

SACD market share is 1.3 / 756 or 0.17%

DVD-A market share is 0.4 / 756 0.065%

There are said to currently be about 2000 SACD titles.

The average SACD title sold about 650 copies, per RIAA statistics (above).

There are said to currently be about 730 DVD-A titles.

The average DVD-A title therefore sold about 548 copies, per RIAA
statistics (above).

Can anybody be making money with sales like these?
