Thats really cheap. I think the pricepoint is starting to match what people are willing to pay to switch out their SD tvs to HD. |
The price may be low enough, but people still won't swap out their TV's. Everyone said the price was cheap enough last year, but it still hasn't skyrocketed. People buy TV's and then keep them until they break unless they are vidiophiles and have already upgraded, or they are the "keeping up with the joneses" type of people. I suspect the penetration rate will continue to stay high, but it will be quite some time before we reach 50% at which point Nintendo may put out their next console.
