If the numbers come out for 2008 as they stand/predicted - then DVD will have lost $1.4B in sales while BD sold $750M. That is a $650M short fall.

That was my point. You can see why the studios are worried. Now we don't know how much downloads will contribute to that difference, but I would be shocked if it is even close to $650 to even break even.
Now what we don't know is what will happen in the rest of Q4 and into January. There could be a lot of sales between now and then, or sales could be flat. Too early to tell. I can tell you that we have been waiting for deals and have only done about 10% of our holiday shopping in 2008. I will be dropping some serious coin over the next month.
