I think more devices using Bluray will encourage more people to switch from DVD.

But the masses are clearly opting for digital or renting movies.

I think there is 1 main device that isn't switching and halting the BluRay adoption: the PC
I mean they are selling pc's without an optical drive and when they have one it's a dvd drive.. Are there even PC games on Bluray?

It took a long time before pc games stopped coming on CDs as well. Yet Blu-ray might never happen, physical pc games are a small minority now.
I can't believe people still want to burn DVD's while BDXL holds 128Gb. Not that you can find those in stores, it's 25Gb discs for burning. They're pretty close to the same price per GB as dvd nowadays, but I guess it's far easier and cheaper just to plug in a 2TB USB HDD for back ups.

I've used my laptop to watch dvds before blu-ray came around. It's easy to move about, and simple to connect to any data projector. Nowadays it's even easier with HDMI output being standard, but no blu-ray drive in my new 1k 1080p laptop... You need to go over $2000 to get blu-ray included :/
