If you look at the huge difference in positions and what are the other products on the ranking the reason they're kept separate becomes clear. Look at the blu-ray ranking, for example, it's always dominated by anime releases, because anime fans tend to prefer buying blu-rays over DVDs. Anime releases aren't nearly as proheminent on the DVD ranking. Music DVDs, specially Ayu's, are much more popular among the general public than blu-rays, which can be seen by the fact Ayu is #1 on the DVD ranking, but #9 on the general blu-ray ranking. The big price difference and the fact that not everyone has blu-ray players make the general public that choose DVDs and the general public that choose blu-rays quite different, so it makes sense to have different rankings. The day when there won't be such a huge difference between the results of those two rankings, or when the blu-ray finally overcomes DVD sales (DVDs still sell A LOT more in Japan), then maybe they'll start putting the two together, but for now keeping them separated makes sense.
