Come on fellas, common sense here. The physical media market is saturated. Most of the country already uses DVD, so BD can only cannibalize DVD sales. I don't think anyone was expecting huge growth in DVD sales this year either. That does not make it a failure. Indeed, if this chart turns out to be accurate, BD will have claimed nearly half of DVD's market share by 2012 which would have to be considered a resounding success.
Online and Mobile are newer types of product, so of course they're going to be growth drivers. They're completely new revenue streams.
