Our choice of what comes out on LD is guided by two main factors.
1) Our estimation of how successful the LD would be (in other words, will it sell at least 1000 copies)
2) Our internal resource limitations (money, and more importantly, staff resources). We have limited resources and LD's chew up a lot more money and time than tape releases do.
We would LIKE to release everything on LD. We are committed to releasing all of the UY Movies on LD as long as they each sell 1000 units, and we are working hard to broaden LD marketing out of the Otaku market segment and so up the sales, so we expect this will be a trivially easy goal to reach.
