Yep. I saw the original source and the studios were optimistic about BD despite the economy. Then we had these "journalists" that are trying to steer people away from BD spin the original source to even say the exact opposite. BD is now averaging about 10% of market share. Big budget releases like Iron Man do closer to 20% (ones that appeal to the 25-50 male). This is for North America. Here in Japan, BD is exploding in popularity (but I won't talk too much about that because many people say "Japan doesn't count"). For those that compare it to LD, it's already passed that point a long time ago that LD got to in 20 years.
BD will be around for a long time. It may or may not have the same success as DVD, but it's definitely not going anywhere.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
