11 million Blu-Rays is NOTHING. Nothing. It means nothing. Don't get so excited, boys.

Check this link, for example:

http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2007/HPOT5-DVD.php

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ALONE sold 10.7 million on DVD. 11 million in sales out of ALL the titles? That is so insignificant to the total market. It's a drop in the bucket.

Blu-Rays are awesome, but it will take YEARS before they have a chance to become a dominant force.

 

Within just a few month's we'll see BD as being 15% of of the physical media movie market.  i mean when the PS3 dropped from $500 to $400 we saw a doubling of it,  and this was only a 20% cut.  Being able to buy a BD player for 25% , or at the current $300 price will help a bit more...imho

 

In 2007 alone, Hollywood sold 1.7 billion DVD's (which was actually down 7%).  Blu_ray has sold 11 million units total.  You're dreaming.  http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-01-07-dvd-sales-slippage_N.htm
