I'd (generously) give it another 3-5 years.
I haven't purchased one since 2000, and I almost never use them, and only
keep them because I haven't dubbed all my old vhs tapes to DVD-R.
Regarding replacing your VHS movies with DVD's, you might want to look at
the cheap bins at Walmart, that might make you change your mind.
Sooner or later, those VHS copies will wear out or get eaten by your VCR.
