I don't see people "flocking" to Blu-ray; they just got through replacing their tapes with DVDs. To the mainstream Blu-ray and DVDs are both discs. DVDs were a huge step beyond VHS...not just quality but in use and storage. CDs reached the market in 1982 but didn't even become popular until the 90's. DVDs came out in 1996. PS2 came out four years later. It was then that DVDs started to become the norm. The only way I see Blu-ray replacing DVDs anytime soon is if companies stop making DVDs and forcing consumers to buy Blu-ray.

It's still too early to say. In the end it's up to the movie studios to decide in what format they release their movies, so they will play a big part in the decision of which format becomes the standard for high-definition movies and the successor to DVD. The two formats will most likely co-exist for quite some time until high-definition takes over and becomes the norm.
