I still think your getting ahead of yourself ...
The PS3 version of GTA4 is still sold better eventhough the PS3's userbase then was far smaller than Blu-Ray's userbase today. Being that The Dark Knight is (probably) very high on the list of most wanted Blu-Ray movies for the market demographic that has adopted Blu-Ray already, the sales are not that amazing; basically, you would expect a disproportionate number of people to buy The Dark Night on Blu-Ray than most movies because of the demographics.
Big sales in movies like Momma-Mia and High School Musical would be more telling that Blu-Ray was being adopted beyond the crowd of people who were buying a PS3 already.

It's the new movies that will eventually make people consider the format for the older movies as well... However, no one is going to buy mediocre films on BR unless the price is as low as the DVD.

So how did Momma-Mia and Sex in the city do on Blu-Ray? They're two of the biggest movies of the year and represent a demographic that would (probably) not already own a PS3 to play games with ... In other words they are pretty good tests to see if Blu-Ray is reaching out to new demographics.
600,000 is very good sales, but it doesn't show anything except that PS3 owners are willing to buy Blu-Ray movies on occasion.
