I don't assume BD will automatically skyrocket once HW is cheap, what I find bizarre, or at least unlikely, is that two things happen simultaneously, BD struggling to take-off and its successor not only not struggling at all, but accelerating as if it didn't suffer from initial difficulties common to every other format. DVD took more than 5 years to become affordable, some more to become commodity, CD even more, nevertheless they became the most used formats of their respective eras,and CD went to the top not when it was still alone, but just during the first years of DVD. And DVD, on its turn, enjoyed its maximum during the first years of BD. About BD, though, HD TV to be in the majority of households is a necessary condition to become the main format, exceeding 50%, this is obvious and I don't deny it, actually I haven't a single BD device or disc yet, neither I have a HD TV.
