Blu-ray is fine, its selling well beating targets and still it gets negativity.

BEATING DVDs WILL TAKE TIME!!!!

Let it be.

The Matrix is considered the DVD that launched the format into the mainstream.

The Matrix DVD was such a success, in *one week* it sold 700,000 copies.

Compare to the Dark Knight Blu-ray, which sold 600,000 copies... IN ONE DAY. Yes, that's *day*, not week!

Sure, beating DVD will take time, but not nearly as much as naysayers are predicting. Already it is doing better than DVD at the same point in its life. Heck, I even know people who own regular old SDTVs but bought Blu-ray players so they could just purchase BD discs from now on.

I'd be interested to know what DVD:VHS sales of The Matrix were in the first week. BD:DVD sales of The Dark Knight were around 15:85, IIRC. I'm not sure where "TDK is the equivalent of The Matrix" is coming from, TDK is a popular title, but not one that ridiculously skewed the BD market share.

On that note, http://www.allbusiness.com/services/motion-pictures/4849840-1.html

DVD Sales of The Matrix eclipsed all VHS sales, with the exception of one title, that week. So The Matrix on DVD actually outsold The Matrix on VHS.

That's just not true of TDK.
