If you group together all the different kinds of floppies as "floppies", but separate out CDs from DVDs and Blu-rays, then I guess it could be seen as short.

CDs probably lasted longest for music, and lasted a while as primary computing media, but if you look at them in terms of console gaming, they lived a pretty short life. So maybe the author is also a console gamer, lol
