Of course not. Like I said, I think his reaction's ridiculous.
What I'm saying is just that BD isn't good enough to be a full-scale successor to DVD. I still know a ton of people that actually prefer their VHS tapes over DVD, even though DVD is a tremendous step up from VHS. With that said, there are an enormous number of people that will prefer DVD over BD, likely permanently.
BD isn't unnecessary. And it isn't ridiculous, like Nintendoman makes it out to be. But it's not good enough to actually overtake DVD. That tech is yet to come.
It's more like this - VHS is the horse-and-buggy, DVD is the family automobile. BD is the luxury automobile - doesn't really offer much that the family car doesn't have; just makes the ride a heck of a lot nicer... but at a cost.
Cadillacs haven't stopped Accords and Elantras from selling well, after all. But you definitely don't see (many) horse-drawn buggies out on the roads anymore.
For a true successor to the Elantra-class car, we're going to need a flying vehicle. Not a Cadillac.
