@OP
the articles you quoted are full of fail for just 1 reason
"why the 30 percent increases during the two weeks before (combined) went unnoticed"
"up 300 percent year-on-year from 2007"
they compare a 1 week story by a 2 week and 1 year to make it look irrelevant, hence showing a strong bias in favor of BR with their analysis.
Sure the point is valid that BR is increasing in market share and that 1 week doesn't change much, but that is not what the whole story was about. It's about the fact that as a new platform introduced to take over the old one's role, there should be no hickups for it to gain territory over DVD, and any hickups (especially of this magnitude) is a strong sign of weakness in the format's progress.
