IIn my opinion, the reason why people here thinks blu-ray is a relative failure
is because nobody I know knows anybody who purchases blu-ray discs or dedicated
players :-)

Back in the day we all knew somebody who had extensive VHS libraries. This
people then expanded to DVD libraries. And there it ended.

You only need to check Spanish retailers to see it. The space they dedicated to
VHS used to be vast. WIth DVD they had the same dedicated space until the last
years (when privacy started eating the profits away, I suppose), at which point
they limited their offering quite a bit. Blu-ray space nowadays is anecdotic
and they usually carry the most badass blockbusters and nothing else.
