Mark Rein: Over half the users who played Gears of War 2 so far do not have HDTVs. [Dramatic pause.]

...

Mark Rein: No. My point is, of the systems that are out there now, the majority of them aren't plugged into HDTVs. So there's no way we're ready for the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox Whatever.

 

3years into the life of the ps3 and 4 into the life of the 360 more than half of the userbase still isn't compelled to upgrade to HDTVs even tough they existed for a while before.

3D is a nice feature but it will take long to be mainstream.

I bought an HDTV last year and only because I needed it to properly enjoy my games. Those extra 200 lines of resolution made the text readable and all the visual details visible and I don't think 3D has a similar experience enhancing advantage. It feels more like a supplement than a complement.
