More people considered BvS a keeper?

That Disney doesn't lower their prices often? Are you new to buying things? This is not exactly a news story. Everyone knows this. This is why back in the days of home video, they'd say they were putting movies "back in the vault". That way they could charge a lot for videos and compel people to buy them because they were only available for a limited time.
Seriously? I thought EVERYONE knew this? -

First.BvS was cheaper, not Civil War.
And I pointed out that RIGHT NOW if you went to Best Buy, you'd spend 10 dollars more for Civil War than you would for BvS.
I know I wrote that right in the post.
Also, at amazon.comBvS 12.99, Civil War 19.99 (as of this post)
Even deepdiscount.com (which as you'll see is not living up to that name) has BvS for 24.95.and Civil War for for 26.35 (really? where's the "deep" discount?).
Google could've shown you all this. -

And I'm actually surprised Civil War is under $24.99 Probably because it's on Netflix right now so they softened the price.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

You're assuming the consumer picks a movie based on it's price alone. That's a mistake. It is a factor but that's it. When a product is better consumers often pay more for it. When it comes to movies, music, etc. consumers often already know the product they're buying.
So assuming consumers would pick BvS over Civil War based on it's price alone is a flawed argument.
Also retailers have different prices. Walmart has BvS as high as $32. -

Well considering YOUR argument is "People liked it more" which is 100% disproven just taking a trip to Rotten Tomatoes and looking at the audience score, (Don't look at the critics score, that'd just make you cry)
he proved his case a lot better than you did considering your argument was incorrect out of the gate.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

I commented on that back when I switched to Blu-Ray, pointed out that on week 2, BvS dropped to 14.99 (No doubt to keep sales up and stay on the charts) and all the Marvel Films were the only ones I was having to pay full price on, everything else was getting collected at some great deals.
I think the ONLY MCU movie I got cheaper than release price was Incredible Hulk.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

Your personal attacks reek of butt-soreness and desperation.
Leave your emotions aside and post facts if you want to be taken seriously. Also no, going to the store won't prove anything, we're talking about thousands of retailers here.

Not that you're looking for an answer, but here's a possible one. Civil War was put out by disney. Disney is notorious for rarely if ever lowering prices. BvS has been on the under 10 sale point multiple times since it's release (the blu-ray version). so more consumers are willing to buy it because it's less expensive.
This is an absolute reason in some previous cases. Most obvious: Man of Steel outselling Iron Man 3 with a price point about $10 lower on average. (My assumption is that Disney has been reluctant to put discs at bargain price because they want to make a killing on the large box sets later on.)
I don't think it's what's at play in his numbers, though. The data only runs up to early November for CA:CW and only up to mid-October for BvS, so the massive discounting hadn't even happened yet.
It's impossible to tell how big the impact of releasing two different versions of the film, with the "ultimate" version only available in premium formats, would be. It means die-hard fans would buy more than one copy, though. Some other customers would choose to purchase the premium-priced option, where they otherwise would have chosen to purchase the cheaper disc. (Or just wait to see it for free on cable - I've never seen the ultimate cut because I refuse to buy it.)
Otherwise, home video sales data is really hard to assess under even the best circumstances. There's so many moving parts, and they often don't follow obvious, rational patterns.
