In fact, the report says that Blu-ray hardware sales dropped 40 percent from January to February. Also, sales only grew 2 percent from February to March.

Of course sales are going to drop after the holidays, when fewer big titles are being released and their are fewer sales going on. Let's wait and compare Q4 last year to this year before we declare blu-ray sales declining. Or compare the years as a whole. To compare Q4 of last year to Q1 of this year is outright dishonest.
As to prices hurting sales, high prices didn't seem to hurt dvd being adopted, and they were about in the same price range when they came out. New releases were not $14.99 when dvd first hit, nor even really for a few years after that. It wasn't until dvd had been adopted by the masses that prices started falling.
