I don't know about you but if I were a movie studio, I'd keep banking on the BluRay wagon for a bit longer.
Most BR movies log in at about 40-50GB with special features and multiple languages. Even the smallest ones are about 25-30GB.
In Australia, uncapped plans aren't all that common - in fact, I live in an area where there is ONLY ONE telco providing ADSL and their plans are 20GB, 200GB and 500GB per month going for up to 130 bucks per month. I'd watch more than 10 movies a month and that would mean my entire allocation would be busted even before I used it for work or regular surfing.
With 4k and Object Audio plus High Frame Rates on the horizon, I doubt these sizes are going to shrink much further any time soon.
And as for Oppo, they have expanded their line up to Headphones and Headphone amps recently - along with getting their players to be HUBS (so you can hook your cable boxes to it). They were also doing handphones before this so I suspect they aren't in as much trouble as you seem to think they are.
And as for CDs going away - I dunno. I still pick up new SACDs and CDs on a regular basis - maybe even more than BRs.
