no i think the biggest problem lies in the perceived "upgrade" to the format.
most of us simply can't tell it is better than the dvd because we are not watching them side by side.
in most cases, it is not a dramatic upgrade, but an upgrade none the less.
and to have an upgrade which most people saw as being perfect already is quite the way our tech works. we don't need it until we don't have it.
progress happens in little steps, however like games on consoles, the format will improve in quality and consistency over time.

generally speaking we tend to favor giant leaps in tech, and dismiss improvement.

you probably won't even notice a difference unless you picture side by side, which is exactly how hd is sold in stores.
