Is Blu-ray really "the best" overall? It may have the best picture and sound quality, but it gets its ass kicked in portability, consumer friendly DRM, price, convenience, enhanced interactivity, and virtually every other category EXCEPT video and sound. Now while video and sound are probably the most important, those other things are very important too. It will be tough to convince consumers to ditch a great cheap format (DVD) and go for your expensive incompatible format when all you really have at this point is better sound/video to offer, and your competitors are starting to offer cheaper and more convenient HD download options.
To be honest, with all these great new DVD upscaling solutions and upcoming download services I'm starting to get a bad pit in the feeling of my stomach when I look at my Blu-ray collection that it will have the same eventual fate that HD DVD had. And its not helping that I can't find a player under $1000 that covers my needs...
