I think what he is saying is that IF BD did not exist, all those BD sales would have likely been SD DVD sales anyway, but 10x greater.

There is some truth to that but I doubt the 10x part myself. Actually there WOULD likely be some x multiple though since people who are considering BD are likely reducing or eliminating the buying of SD DVDs during the transition. Raise your hand if while considering whether or not to buy into BD yourself if you stopped or severely slowed down buying SD DVDs. I know I did for the period leading up to both formats launch, and I am sure i am not alone.
