Are you purposely being obtuse?

No, I just think lists like that are missing that DVD is no longer fit for purpose.  It was succeeded by a technology fit for modern purpose 8 years ago.

DVD no longer fit for purpose, yet HD streaming which is on par with an upscaled DVD is killing bluray.  Seems preferable and acceptable for most people.

- HD streaming > upscaled DVD in most quality comparisons.  They're not really equivalent, so you can't conclude DVD is preferable and acceptable by HD streaming success.

- Blu-ray is still growing not dying, so I think killing is a bit strong.  I'd say both Blu-ray and HD streaming are becoming more mainstream.
