SACD/DVD-Audio failed because the public could not perceive any significant difference between them and standard redbook CD. So they refused to buy more hardware, replace their software libraries and pay more for each disc, not to mention the lack of avaliable software. High resolution video is different, the public can actually see the difference and it's siginificant (even 720p/1080i). That's why HD televisions are a success. The problem with Blue-Ray/HD DVD is that the hardware and software is too expensive for the public and there is not enough software released. The public is quite content with HD OTA, HD cable, HD satellite and standard DVDs (and upscaling) on their big screen Hi-Def TVs.
