Not remotley true.
DVD at this point in it's life had sold well more discs then Blu-ray has in the US... and really it's US numbers likely would eclipse Blu-ray WW at this point.
At the end of the Christmas Season it was sitting on 128 Million in it's 2nd and a half year. Well higher then Blu-ray. The only thing Blu-ray has is a hardware advantage... because, well the PS2 hadn't released yet.
DVD was already a smashing success welll before PS2.
Also... you can play blu-ray movies on a standard TV.... though i don't know why you would when you could just get DVDs cheaper.
