The same failed arguments again; "HDTV penetration will put people of SD content" and "3rd parties are struggling on the Wii"...will we get a bingo before this thread dies down?

As for the first argument, today in Swedens biggest morning paper there was an article about record sales for flat TVs. I'll do a rough translation of the important part:
"The big surge can have multiple explanations.
- The flat TV has great advantages when it comes to fitting in with your furniture. And the trend is that TV-viewing will be more individual and that the TV no longer is 'the camp fire'. Also the flat TV has come down in price, says Anders Appelqvist, CEO of Elektronikbranschen (working for the companies dealing in electronics)"

I.e. HD in itself is not the main reason people are buying HDTVs.
