Blu-ray Players are overtaking DVD players....basically BD is taking over

[NJ5]

Obviously as Blu-ray prices come down, many people start buying BR players instead of DVD players... after all, a BD player does everything a DVD player does, and more.

There's really no reason why BR wouldn't take over in the end, when players and discs are priced near DVD prices.

However, it should be pointed out that the market for optical discs is decreasing due to the increase in the online distribution market (and probably the recession helping as well). So in terms of market share, BR is (slowly) overtaking DVD, but in absolute terms it will probably never reach DVD's size.
