We have all probably been there, with friends and family trying to tell and even show them Blu-ray, but the bottom line is, a lot of people are not interested, but as long as physical media is still being bought, we A/V heads still have a chance.
Yeah, the real competition for Blu-ray's future is digital, not DVD. It's not Blu-ray vs. DVD anymore, they're on the same "team" now. It's physical vs. digital. If phasing out DVD gets some people to convert to Blu-ray, while driving most of the rest to digital (purchasing or streaming), then that won't be in Blu-ray's best interest in the long term, IMO. It will just make physical contract quicker while feeding digital's growth even more.
