Are DualDiscs Doomed?

As I have reported a couple weeks ago on the new format 'DVD album' by Warner Music. According to Medialine, DualDisc is quickly losing heat among consumers, and has failed to gather interest in packaged media purchase.

Even though a number of titles are still being scheduled for release, it's quite obvious that DualDisc is not sought after by either consumers nor record labels.

Interestingly enough, many consumers that purchased DualDiscs are not aware that they are buying a DualDisc, they thought they were buying a regular CD. Just compare the amount of media coverage DualDiscs got with HD-DVD/Blu-ray. It's not wonder why most people are still unaware of this media format.

Since the last few CD-alternatives have pretty much not been very successful, I think if the new 'DVD album' has a lot of hurldes in the near future.
