Consider how people with SDTVs affect the sales of the HD consoles.

I don't think there is much of an effect caused by HDTV ownership.

Technophiles will probably own all the bells and whistles, so they usually have enough money and own all the consoles already.

Gamers probably don't care if they have all the correct equipment, so they most likely just own the console/consoles of their own preferences (fanboy of systems or games will decide choice) regardless of a TV type.

Everyone else that purchases VG systems, without sounding demeaning, these customers will purchase a system through word of mouth, brand recognition, peer pressure, etc. These customers for most reasons have little to no reason to perform extra setup/purchasing additional cables/settings tweaks/etc. to actually utilize an HDTV anyways, since I've seen much confusion about this where many people play both PS3's and 360's on HDTVs in SD.

In this group, unless someone is a fanboy of a particular system, I don't see HDTV adoption affecting video game purchases.

This.
