Blu-ray has failed, because it has not replaced DVD's, or become the primary format for most releases. Digital releases have, and will overtake it.

Sorry, but you're completely wrong. I'm not sure why do you call Bluray a failure, it's not as successful as the previous formats but I definitely wouldn't call it a failure. Formats like HD-DVD or Betamax - those are failures.
Digital releases will never overtake physical releases. It just can't happen. For example take people like me - I have never ever paid for a digital release of anything, and never will. OK, I once bought an mp3 single but that was an exception, I did it only because it was a charity release. If I should pay for something, I want to be able to hold it in my hands, and listen to it / watch it / read it whenever I want and how I want. I never ever will buy some DRM-infected "ones and zeroes" and it doesn't matter if we're talking about music, books, or videos. If the companies stop producing physical releases, I'll stop paying them. And you would be surprise how many people are just like me. Our numbers are too big to be ignored.
