Probably ...
There were tons of people who were cheering how sucessful UMD was (early on) when it was announced that its adoption rate was far faster than DVD. Unfortunately (for UMD) the only people who were interested in UMD were gamers.
Even the slowest selling consoles tend to get bought at a far faster rate (early on) than players for a new movie format ever will, and even the fastest selling consoles tend to get bought at a far slower rate (later on) that the slowest mainstream format ever will. Right now Blu-Ray is selling really well to PS3 fans and videophiles, but I have seen no evidence that shows that the mainstream audience knows or cares what Blu-Ray is.
