Very True. Right now BD is being supported by a small group that weilds a great bit of purchase power.
This is why BD with such a small install base wield a such a large percentage of the top releases.
Sony made the right bet with the PS3. it turns out gamers are more likely to buy movies, cds and downloads than the normal consumer. They are also more likely to own a hd tv.
They buying power of gamers make a disproportionate impact in media markets. They aren't the ones buying 3 3.99 dvds of some 80's movie in walmart with Truthteller. They are buying $20 blurays of crap like AVP, and buying in mass.

Apparently, Blu-Ray owners have a lot of discretionary income and very little taste.
