Blu Ray isn't doing very well at all in the UK (not sure about other places in the world),
I think 3.7 million movies sold last year (2008) for the UK is a pretty honorable result at this point, of this 1.5 million units were sold in December which represents a 400% year over year increase for December.
The UK is only lagging behind the US and Japan with regard to adoption, the US saw Blu-Ray sales for last year rise by 320%.
ome stores no longer sell bluray films here and some are heading that way too
Strange place you're living. Retailers around here tell me how happy they are with Blu-Ray, they now use it to show off the clarity of the HDTVs they are selling. In their opinion this makes a huge difference with customer perception (sometimes noting, it's like looking through a window!).
