I never argued that Bluray was going to be profitable, only "succesful" in that they will eventually overtake DVDs. I was only arguing against people who delusionally thought that everyone bought their HD tvs for only video games and television, and that Bluray disks will never sell well, even when the price will go down.
Like my very first post, Sony severely over estimated their brand, and thought that the PS3 alone can carry the weight of everything, including Bluray.
As for digital downloads, I think that digital streaming will continue to grow and be very succesful, but I don't think (with my limited knowledge) that our internet structure (in the US) is good enough uniformly to even pull off that kind of service. Personally I wouldn't buy a movie through download, because I'm assuming that Holywood won't let me move it onto my computer or copy those files, and I want to have something that I can actually hold and preserve, and not something that can be lost so easily.
I can't say what others think though.
