Some highlights:

According to the results, only 40% of PlayStation 3 owners polled were aware the machine had a Blu-ray player and about 50% of that number had popped in a Blu-ray movie during the last 10 times they turned on the machine -- the other half didn't use the feature.

Only 30% of Xbox 360 owners were aware of the HD graphics capabilities of the machine, whereas that number rises to 50% with PS3.


But if the majority of 360 and PS3 customers are unaware of high definition, then how will the graphics capabilities of the Wii really start to disappoint customers over the next few years as more and more people buy HDTVs, and its popularity decline?  ;)

Entroper, if the majority of the population has an understanding that HD TV has better definition but doesn't know what 1080p is, then they won't care about the BD feature, or the HD gaming features either.
