You know, most of the people who are buying HDTV:s, buy them to watch TV on SD channels (which by the way looks a lot crappier than watching SD channels on SDTV), so why would picture quality all of a sudden would matter, when people choose to watch TV on a crappier picture quality than before. I haven't yet seen a single HDTV with HD tuner, they all have SD tuners built-in. There are 2 main reasons why people buy these TV:s. First reason is because they look a lot better than the tube models, so they fit a lot better for decoration. Second reason is because all over the world channels are going digital and you need to purchase either digital TV or digital set top box. So, when combined with "first", purchasing a HDTV starts to make sense for most.
And earlier this year, august perhaps, there was a worldwide poll in Everybody Votes Channel, about is your TV widescreen, and only about half of the voters had widescreen, meaning half was still playing with 4:3 TV:s. And assuming that the people who have their Wiis online are more tech orientated people, the result was surprising. So, i'm a little sceptic about the research in the OP. It could be possible, but i still see the number a little high.
