I've been saying for years that HD on disc is destined to be a niche product, and I still stand by that.
However, I don't see why that's a problem. As long as players and media are being made, who cares if BD never reached mass market status? Well, other than for pricing and selection reasons I mean.
Point is, there's a big difference between being a failed format (HD DVD) and a niche format. I can see Blu-ray existing happily alongside DVD for many years to come and never becoming its successor.

If this does happen, what will be the successor to DVD? Will it at that point just jump directly to downloaded content?

That is what some people are predicting and what some companies are working towards. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen, but time will tell.
