I would assume they would have to keep selling them. It's kinda hard to push the latest and greatest TV tech (and therefore TV sales) if you don't have high bitrate media to show it off with. Streaming services aren't giving you full UHD Bluray quality in order to save on bandwidth, so outside of piracy, physical media is your only option.
