Why CD players so expensive when the fomat is dead


Please explain to me why CD players are still so expensive, considering even the giant Wal-mart has announced they will stop CD sales due to lack of $$ support..It cant be supply and demand!

I'm trying to remember the last time I purchased a CD at Wal-fart. OH YEAH- NEVER! XRCD, HDCD, Telarc, RHINO, Chesky, MFSL, Blue Note, Analogue Productions, Audioquest, Sheffield Labs, etc? They never heard of them!
most of my listening is from my imac,to my system,,cds ive loaded,and im out of work so ill keep my cds in case i have to stop my cable,internet service,,,just kidding,,,i hope!
