Next-gen DVDs are already, I think, 5% of the total market, and growing fast. They may hit 10% in certain markets by the end of the holiday season. Next-gen will definitely take over in a couple of years. It's related to the uptake of wide-screen HDTVs - you need the display technology and lots of pixels to showcase what BluRay can do.
