I always thought the blu-ray media format was generally successful, as I keep on seeing new blu-ray releases (including 4K), but in the past couple days as I've looked at information online, I've just now heard that the blu-ray format is generally considered a flop and a commercial failure.  And I've heard DVDs continue to sell more than blu-rays.  That seems odd to me, considering that blu-rays are the successor to DVD and offer superior picture quality (mainly).

Also, I've just heard one of the factors contributing to blu-rays being a "flop" is that apparently, many people did not realize that a blu-ray player can also play DVD discs.  I'm haering now that many people didn't want to buy a blu-ray player because they already had a lot of DVD discs and didn't think a blu-ray player could play them.

I'm thinking, is this really serious?  I find it hard to believe.
