It doesn't make any difference whether it's dollars or units if you look at the final "DVD rose by this amount, Blu-ray rose by this" figures. Well, ok, all the Blu-ray disc manufacturers could add 10% to the costs of their discs and thus make it appear as if BD sales increased by 10%, but there's no good reason for them to do so: indeed, DVD prices are unlikely to get lower, but BD discs are likely to lower in price over the next few months.
So, in practice, the complaint doesn't stick. This is a good week for Blu-ray sales. It's the first week in a month and a half though, and the general trend over the last three months - a few blips notwithstanding - is for BD to grow at a slower rate than DVD. Unless we have a few weeks of this, I wouldn't see it as a trend.
