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.

A lot of rose-colored glasses being worn here. Still haven't seen a link for the 30% marketshare. Here's link again for the US sales which is searchable back to when Blu-ray started.

In case you don't want to read it - Last week Blu-Ray marketshare of sales revenue 22% - and share of unit sales (actual movies bought) 16%
And this after 6 yrs on the market. And here's link from 2 years ago showing 65% hd tv penetration in the US

So over 65% households (2 years ago) have hdtvs yet only 16% bought BluRay last week and 84% bought dvd - hmmm.
