Erik Aston said: People want HDTV... But not for the HD movies or games! The one videogame market with huge HDTV adoption is Japan. Why? Because they're "high tech savvy"? Nah. They're a densely populated country, with smaller homes and have more use for thin TVs they can mount on the wall. In the West, HD adoption is happening for the same reason, just more slowly.

That would make perfect sense except for the presence of thin LCD and EDTV's at a cheaper cost all over the world. Peolpe purchase HDTV's Because they want HDTV's.
