$29.95 a dvd still don't work if you are say
a Dragon Ball fan , that is more like $2995+
for the series. Most people want to buy I think the whole set, rather than your favorite episode for $29.95 on VHS that marketing still thinks what the public wants.
Well if I am interperting your question correctly they following what some people in sociology consider the number one rule of capitalism, take any advantage you can, of your situtation. They obviously feel people will still pay for the VHS and figure that they can make more money off one one VHS sale then they can off a DVD collection sale.
If the public was not buying it, that is if the public was not buying two or three of their favorite episodes at the price mentioned, and if a large enough sample of the population was not doing it, I assure you they would not sell the VHS tapes at that cost and would instead sell a DVD verison or a DVD collection. Truth told the people are still buying it and enough are still buying it that they feel it makes economical sense to continual the process as it exists.
If it were not profitable then they simply would not sell the VHS tapes if they were not interested in turning them into DVD, so it is not as simple as saying they are not making enough profit.
