The bar chart compares the worldwide sales of games software, CDs and DVDs over a period of 4 years.
In 2000, CDs dominated the IT industry by achieving 35 billion of global sales. The global sales figure was doubled as compared to DVDs and games software at 18 billion and 13 billion respectively. Despite at its peak, the sales trend for CDs then subsequently decreased slightly during the 4 years period, where its demand dropped to approximately 32 billion in 2003.
In contrast, demand for DVDs is lesser as compared to CDs. In fact, it only managed to obtain global sales of 18 billion in year 2000. Despite being the runner up in the category, the sales trend for DVDs seemed positive, where the year-to-year sales figures were increasing sharply to 31 billion at the end of the period. This proved to be a drastic sales growth for DVDs as it reduced the sales gap against its core competitor.
Finally, games software had seen a considerably growth in its global sales. Although its popularity was not as high as CDs and DVDs, it managed to reach its sales peak at slightly below 20% in year 2003.
In conclusion, the global sales for CDs reduced whereas the sales for DVDs improved steadily from year 2000 to 2003
