SACD - Dying already?

I just read the industry blurb in this month's TAS which described how it seems the stream of SACDs from Sony has pretty much dried up. I was in the largest local independent record store in my area last week and actually bought a SACD because it was music not available on CD. The SACD/DVD-A section was a bit smaller than a year ago and I asked the manager about it. He laughed and said they only sell 2-3 a month combined and he doesn't order many anymore.

Except for audiophiles, is anyone buying these things? Or, are all hopes and dreams of SACD slowly fading away (for at least Sony)?

For bundy and you all, i have a recently acquired pioneer dv47ai and my system is hugely better than anyone i know. i have upgraded to affordable (junk to many of you rich guys) gear consisting of a roksan kandy ka i III and whatmough p31 with a subwoofer and lousy old 32 inch panasonic tv. but i am having trouble finding any sacd or dvd a i really want, except to try a diana krall or a few cd's from DGG or Sony.

Any rec's for this old audiophile classical and jazz buff?
