HD adoption isn't at an all-time high

Actually, it is. The number of people buying HDTVs is at an all time high right now.

 

If now is at an all-time high then I fear for HD's future seeing as how adoption rates aren't exactly skyrocketing.

Face it, right now HD isn't that popular. In year's time it will. Now? No.

I think you misunderstand what "all time high" means. The number of people buying HDTVs is at an all time high now, but it doesn't mean the figure can't increase - then THAT figure becomes the new all time high.

You say that HD will be popular in a year's time, but isn't the Wii here for a good few more years yet?

Here's some data from the Consumer Electronics Association from June 2007: -

Thirty percent of U.S. households now have an HDTV, likely rising to 36 percent by the end of this year.

A third of US households a year ago and rising all the time is a low adoption rate, do you think?
