If you go by revenue it may give a slight skew in favor of the more expensive Blu Ray. But if you go by units sold then it gives a huge advantage to the DVD which has a much smaller margin. a chart based on profit would be impossible but I bet people would still call foul because the BD has a higher price tag and a higher margin because it is a newer technology.

This chart is the most reasonable indicator as it shows how much people are willing to spend on either technology. Just because someone chooses to spend their $20 on one BD movie doesn't mean they have less consumer spending power than someone that decides to spend their $20 on two DVDs.
