Well yeah. The actual TOTAL BR Discs sold is WAY behind where DVD was at this point in time.

Like 10's of millions behind.  When Blu-ray was hitting 10 million sold in the USA.  DVD had hit 65 Million in the USA in the same time period.

Blu-ray's big deal has all been about "Increased drive adoption" which was mostly caused by the PS3 coming out early in blu-rays lifetime since all PS3's count as blu-ray players.


Had PS2 come out at a similar time....

It really isn't succeeding in general anywhere near the industry likes to spin it... they really desperatly WANT it to succeed but they aren't ready yet for the "You have to adjust" push... because it's just another disc, they can't really justify it.  So they'll try as hard as they can from behind the scenes to get people to switch.

The fact that people think Blu-ray has been an unprecedented success when it's rise has actually been anemic compared to DVD proves this.
