Blu-ray is selling just *slightly* less than DVD at the same point in its lifetime according to DigitalBits. Up until the recession, Blu-ray was selling *better* than DVD in its comparative lifetime.
However, comparing current Blu-ray sales to *current* DVD sales isn't any way to assess the format. Had you done the same with DVD / VHS, you would have had similar disparity... and similar doom and gloom.
So despite all the "I wish HD-DVD won" and "DVD is selling 200 million right now" silliness, Blu-ray is doing very well, though it's been negatively effected by the recession.
