There are still skeptics who don't believe in Blu-ray adoption... Maybe look at the sales data. Blu-ray sales are up 300% from last year. Blu-ray players are selling better than DVD players at the same time point. Do you guys expect blu-ray to have negative sales?

Blu-Ray sales up 300% from what value? Percentages don't mean much when we're talking about small values.

Blu-ray players selling better than DVD players at the same time point - source for this?

 

 

Blu-ray has outpaced DVD adoption

So that article is based on the assumption that every PS3 owner uses the Blu-Ray functionality?

The last time I read something about Blu-Ray trends, the attach rate was really poor, so either there are many PS3 owners not using Blu-Ray, or they just bought one or two movies.

Here is a report saying total disc sales were at 11 million from 2006 to mid-2008:

It's very hard to be impressed with 11 million movies sold in three years, even if that's just for one region.
