The bar chart demonstrates the yearly number of rented and sold films from a specific store from 2002 to 2011.
Overall
, the trends had changed considerably, with DVD
sales
overtaking rentals as the most common format of consuming films. Noticeably, the
sales
of VHS disappeared in 2005 whilst Blu-ray
sales
started to rise in 2007. It is apparently clear from the chart that rentals were the most popular form of movie consumption in the first two years.
However
, the number of
this
format saw a downward trend, falling steadily from roughly 180,000 to almost 60,000 in 2011.
Similarly
, VHS
sales
declined gradually over the years and completely left the chart in 2005. DVD
sales
,
on the contrary
, rose dramatically, especially between 2003 and 2004. By 2007, it had increased by approximately 150,000
sales
, reaching a peak of slightly over 200,000.
Although
this
number
then
decreased steadily, its
sales
were still far more significant than the other two formats.
Additionally
, Blu-ray emerged as a new way to take in films in 2007 and had shown some growth, even though it was far less notable compared to rentals and DVD
sales
.
