one, engadget doesn't come up with these numbers, Nielsen does and it's posted in Home Media Magazine. Bitch to those people about how you think the survey should be run, please. BTW, you know what Nielsen does? Statistics. That's their business. Out of curiosity, what's your line of work?
two, the percentage comparison of DVD vs. BD in the middle of the chart is listed as being * UNIT VOLUME, which means the numbers shown are based on the number of "units sold" boys and girls.

As for the rest of your post (about prices and people may not be willing to buy something something), you might have a point, but Blu-ray is the only place to get 1080p video and uncompressed or at least very high-quality audio, and I'm of the opinion there will always be people willing to pay for that (or at least marketed into thinking that they want it). It's really just that simple.
