I still don't see how this changes anything. Show me the penetration rate of pay HD tv service or HD movie players. That is much more representative of those interested in HD. I own 2 HD TVs and cancelled my HD cable beacause it was more expensicve than regular and offered too little additional content.
I don't care about those things. This is a gaming forum, and the data is about gamers, and I don't pretend that it generalizes to anything else. I don't know how people are watching their TBS and Spike TV, but the data on gamers playing games says that the majority are doing it on HDTVs using HD connections. I think that's pretty significant in itself.
I laugh at those that bought a HDtv for the Wii, as for the others who just happen to have their wii connected to a HDtv apart from their other HD equipment such as PS3/360/HD DVD/Blu-ray, their cool.
Nothing wrong with that. Between 480p resolution, 16:9 widescreen, and superior color from component cables (assuming your old SDTV isn't one of the rare ones with component input), there's a lot to take advantage of with Wii on an HDTV. It's not true HD, but on any TV with a decent scaler it'll still look better than on an SDTV. It's worth it just to be able to see your half of the court in split-screen Wii Tennis.
