Does anyone remember when DVDs started taking over the home movie format from videocassettes? Wikipedia is reporting that DVDs were first created in 1995. I first started noticing mass produced DVDs from 1999 on.
Blu ray was created in 2006, it is 2010 and a poster before me noted that,
"http://www.homemediamagazine.com/ 11% marketshare (total revenue - not just "top 20") after 4 years on the market. And I have yet to see a pc game on Blu-Ray."

Have we reached the mass crossover appeal from the higher end home video market to the mass home video market for blu ray? If not, then why not? If so, then why does my brand new 2010 gaming laptop come with a DVD-RW player?
It has been 4 years. I would be stunned if the cost of production for blu ray movies is not equal nor less than DVDs at this point.

blu ray was created on 2003-4 on japan mass produced on 2007.
DVD was popular until some years later like 2003

Where I am at in the heart of California, well over 90% of my friends , family and co-workers still use DVDs over Blu Ray in mid- to late-2010. I can name 1 out of 10 friends who has gone Blu Ray exclusive, the rest are sticking to DVDs because Blu Ray doesn't really constitute the leap that videocassette to DVD did for home movie entertainment.
Now if we are taking about HD television, then yes, most have gone HD. Blu ray, not so much.
