I'd just like to add to this that Blu-ray standalone have shipped over 2.2 million units for the year and The Dark Knight sold, not shipped, sold 600k units day 1. 147,000 Standalone units were sold Black Friday alone. I don't have the total statistic for how many have sold for the year, but they wouldn't be shipping them if they weren't selling.
This obviously doesn't include the PS3's statistics, which is the #1 selling player on the market.
Blu-ray is taking off in the US market
When Walmart is showing Blu-ray ads twice an hour. That has to say something.
