This is a stupid argument. We'd still all be on wax cylinders if our criteria for buying into a new format was that it had as many titles as what it's replacing. New formats always start from 0 titles and increase from there. At some point they either flop or they supplant the old format. DVD was no different. Neither was VHS, compact disks, audio cassettes, LPs, 78s etc.
What matters is that the price, features and selection of titles is sufficient to attract new owners. Each group has different criteria for buying into a format. Early adopters have a lower buy-in threshold than the early tech savvy mainstream, which has a lower threshold than the conservative mainstream, which has a lower threshold than the stragglers. With Blu up to 1000 titles and more affordable players its appeals is going to be greater than was last year. It'll probably take years to surpass DVD but it's fairly likely that it will when players also happen to be backwards compatible.
