Something I've always thought about blu-ray is that it is the current equivalent of the laserdisc player.  High-end, high quality, but high prices, so the only people who own one is audiophiles.  Even though Laserdisc audio/picture quality blew VHS out of the water, most people saw VHS as 'good enough' and stayed there.  As long as blu-ray keeps their prices so high, they will continue to have the problem with low sales.  It doesn't help that to really need one, you have to have an HDTV, that many people still haven't gone to either.  I think that DVD will continue to dominate the market for the foreseeable future.
