The sales of BD/HD DVD are just pathetic. If you combine all titles sold from both formats, they don't even equal the weekly sales of one good DVD title. The next gen formats sales are nothing but pathetic. You average person knows very little about High Definition and nothing about BD/HD DVD.

I agree with both of you stating that the average person has no clue, but 5-6 years is a long time for people to learn. It takes a lot to get the ball rolling, but once it does, sales should increase a lot. I think in 5 or 6 years, most will have an HDTV, the prices are getting so low everyone should be able to afford one in a few years. By then, retailers should also be saturated with high-end and low-end blu-ray players. I would be surprised if DVD's were still being made by 2018.
