Bluray has declined over the last year not increased.

I thought it went down from 26% to 21% in the US in terms of sales from 2010 to 2011?

"Blu-ray sales were once again impressive, especially in the catalog end of the business, where sales grew 26%.

The number of Blu-ray homes continued to rise as well, with 1.4 million Blu-ray Disc players (inclusive of BD set-tops, PS3s and HTiBs,) sold in the second quarter, bringing the total household penetration of all Blu-ray compatible devices to more than 42.1 million U.S. homes."

Nothing but growth as far as Blu-ray is concerned.
