The HD market was always going to be a lot smaller after the death of HD DVD because the market lost 40% of it's base, anyone who was price conscious, anti sony/BR, or wanted a finished spec, is now out of the market.
How many HD DVD people have jumped into the BR camp since HD's death?, ....not too many I would guess, IMO most will wait until they can at least get back what they had as far as price point and hardware quality goes, so that is a long way off for most X-HD DVD supporters.
BR for mass market consumption is still WAY to expensive, unless the consumer can justify a big leap forward technologically as was the case VHS v DVD, they wont spend the coin, most wont bother until it is a similar price point, why would the average punter bother?, DVD is good enough for most.
