From the linked article, talking about the Japanese market: "Shipments of recorders and players based on Blu-ray Disc hit 122,000 in June marking the first time that monthly shipments have broken into six-figures."

Blu-ray hardware sales already passed sales of DVD-only players in Japan, back in May '08. With this large June increase in Blu-ray sales, it's obvious that it's twilight for DVD in the Land of the Rising Sun, no matter what other lies you see posted in the comments.
