I don't think it is bad news for Blu-Ray. When I want to watch a movie and I don't care how it looks, I'll go with streaming or torrents or Netflix or Blockbuster or Amazon. I get the movie but I don't really care about the quality or the medium. Maybe I watch it on my netbook, or my desktop, or maybe even my TV. That is a cheap throw-away experience.
When I buy a Blu-ray, I know it is something I want to watch on my HDTV with my surround sound going and with flawless quality. I probably want to watch it more than once in my lifetime. I bought a couple documentaries on Blu-ray before I even had a blu-ray player, becuase I knew someday they would be cheap and I'd want to have those films in high quality.
They're not exactly competiting. It is the difference between McDonalds and a real restaurent. Sometimes I'll stop in McDonalds for a snack, but if I want a steak I'm going somewhere that knows how to do it. That is streaming vs blu-ray for me.
