I see you'e deciding to latch on to one particular point here - but was not LaserDisc the point of choice for true videophiles?
Was not Audio DVDs the choice for true audiophiles?
Video philes and audio philes are necessarily people who seek the highest quality at any given time. They are also extremely niche and do not decide the courses off these things. You can claim all you want, but the success of any given media generation is reliant on the average consumer, not the niche that can spend thousands on hardware nobody else feels they need.
Again: it's why we're all listening to MP3s, and why the originl portable radio was the biggest thing since cheese.

Do you not see the difference between a 200kb MP3 and a 50 GB HD movie? Try harder.

I'm sorry, your point has escaped me. What?

Think about it. You're not even talking about packaged media for one. Secondly, you don't seem to understand what MOST video/audiophiles means. That's what brought cassettes to power over 8-tracks, CDs to power over cassettes and records, DVD to power over VHS, and Blu-ray to power over HD DVD (and by proxy will most likely bring Blu-ray to power over DVD).
If you don't get it now, you probably won't. Then, you will just have to find out in the long. Of course, you will be puzzled as to why it happened like I've said it would.
