A lot of pundits were skeptical about blu-ray from the beginning.

1. It is.still a mechanical media with all the heat generation and component failure that entails.

2. The SDXC flashcard standard goes up to a 2Tb capacity. Blu-ray got leapfrogged by a smaller more ubiquitous media.

3. A lot of people prefer the immediacy of purchacing a download. You can save a download to a card or thumbdrive as easily as.to a bulky Blu-ray disk.

4. For those.who use small viewing screens, the higher definition is not only wasted....it makes file conversions take even longer.
