My guess is that the logical split has to do with future contract negotiations. Netflix has no ties to DVD rentals, so maybe this aids them in the deals they are able to make.
- pyre 15y agoAs I understand it, most of the deals between Netflix and the studios are revenue sharing deals. So the studios have a vested interest in increasing whatever metrics they are basing the revenue sharing on. They could see streaming availability as hurting the DVDs 'sales.' Though this would apply industry-wide anyways, so I don't know if this would really put the streaming side of things in a better negotiation position.
