The problem is that BR doesn't give the quantum leap over DVD that DVD had

over VHS. When DVD became mainstream the convenience of the format was as 
much of a selling point as the image / audio quality. For the vast
majority 
of consumers DVD (even when upscaled on a HDTV) is "good enough". I agree 
that BR (and HD-DVD) offer a big increase in picture and audio, but so 
relatively soon after the last paradigm ****ft in formats, it's not enough
of 
a carrot.
