"Blu-ray player shipments are expected to climb more than 82% in 2010"

[HDTV1080P]

quote

"Blu-ray player shipments will reach 16.4 million units this year, up 82.2% from 9.1 million units in 2009, iSuppli estimated. The extraordinary growth will slow, but still remain at rates exceeding 50% for the next two years, after which expansion will moderate and level off, iSuppli reported. By 2014, Blu-ray shipments will amount to 68.9 million, nearly eight times their 2009 level, according to the company's estimates."

With falling player prices and so many titles available for $10 or even less, people will begin to take a little more notice of Blu-ray movies. Curiosity will continue to grow, more will act on it, and BDs may eventually become a staple in most homes.

Ahh, remember the "good ol' days" when the movies were few and cost a lot more money? When it was more surprising to see/meet others who were embracing the format?

Life is good.

Agreed, though I still feel Blu will never come anywhere close (in regards to overall market saturation) to what DVD did.

Probably not. There's way more people interested in quantity (read streaming) than are into quality (read blu-ray).
