If anything the combination of Blu-Ray and users sticking with regular DVD killed HD-DVD. As for Nexflix nearly Killing Blu-Ray again not seeing it (unless you have some numbers?). Now if you want to argue that streaming in general has hurt physical media sales in general there is no doubt about that, but it's far from dire and bandwidth hogging UHD content has given physical sales a bit of a boost I believe.
The last several blu-rays I bought included digital content.
