Wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

Are you suggesting that buyers of HD games didn't buy into HD games because HD games appeal to them?

HD games are appealing because they are on HD systems, and catered toward the same demographic that tends to purchase high end hardware for its gaming aesthetic quality.

You don't have anything to support this hypothesis, and you already agreed that

given that HD systems are where those games continue to be released, it makes sense that new buyers - if they are looking specifically for that sort of experience - will continue to go to the HD systems
You are suggesting that it is th systems, rather than the games, that drive the demographic split, but I've never heard anything approaching a real reason to think so.

Sorry, Khuutra, I think you're trying to go against decades-old game industry knowledge here.  It's like you're trying to suggest that "men don't like gadgets -- gadgets just happen to be made mostly for things men like".
