I gather that the consumers are stupid, then?

Well it makes more sense then admitting that the analysits were stupid and wrong in their claims.

Easier to blame the consumers.  They don't want it because they're dumb.  Not because they don't want it.

No most consumers are pretty dumb -- so many people believe that buying a HDTV means the picture is automaticly HD and better, even if there watching a DVD using composite cables... and many of the same people believe that blu-ray players either only play blu-ray discs or that there is a risk involved in buying blu-ray.

Ofcourse this dosn't mean that analysits were right, but hey when your job if to make predictions you can't help but get it wrong every now and again (or most the time).

No most consumer's arent dumb,they just don't feel the need to keep up with every little advance in technology. Not everybody is tech savy,but that does'nt mean there dumb.
