I am just surprised at some claims people make over very little statistical data. I’m not saying that having Blu-ray is not a nice thing. Sure, it has better picture (definitely noticeable to the vast majority) and better audio (noticeable depending on your hearing skills), but do people really care?

Take a look at these sales figures for DVD sales, just adding up the sales of Twilight and Marley & Me (totalling to around 11.7 million) already tramples down the 9 million units of Blu-ray for the 1st quarter of 2009.

I agree with CNET about the doubling of Blu-ray sales figures from the year 2008. But Blu-ray on track to taking over DVD? Pfft! Rubbish!

Blu-ray can very well be considered as an upgrade to standard definition DVD, but a replacement? I don’t think so. Not everything is well worth seeing on Blu-ray. Hopefully, DVD and Blu-ray will find a way to peacefully co-exist in the future to come.
