The chart below shows the annual number of rentals and sales (in various formats) of film from a particular store between 2002 and 2011.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The given bar chart compares the yearly quantity of rentals and sales of film from a specific store from 2002 to 2011.
Overall, it can be seen that while rentals and VHS sales followed downward trends, Blu-ray sales illustrated upward trends. Another notable feature is that DVD sales experienced some fluctuations throughout the term in the question.
In detail, in 2002, rentals stood at around 180,000, followed by a gradual dip in the remaining years to finish at just over 50,000 in 2011. On the other hand, Blu-ray sales witnessed a steady climb from nearly zero, which was the least total, to approximately 6,000 (2007-2011). Next, there was a rapid slid in the VHS sales roughly from 80,000 to 6,000 in three years time (2002-2005).
In contrast, there was a different pattern for DVD sales. Beginning at just under 50,000 in 2002, there was a rapid swell in the subsequent years until 2000, where it hit a peak at about 205,000. Despite reaching a top, the successive years saw a progressive drop to relatively 180,000 in the end of the period.
