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.
