Sony will never learn. Using their game system to spearhead new formats didn't work with PS3 and likely won't with this. Guess they're intent on learning the hard way!

They're not pushing a new format, they're just placing higher resolution footage on the same blu-ray disc. 

I was talking about the TVs, though "format" was the wrong word to use... :/

It worked very well with the PS3 though, same with the Xbox. Many people bought HDTV's for HD consoles.


Most people bought their HDTV because it was an inexpensive large flat-screen TV, not because it was HD ...

One of the primary reasons why HDTV was so slow to be adopted, and was consistently slower than industry/analyst projections, was that consumers who didn't own HDTVs and view HD content on their TV didn't care about HDTV. It was only after large flat screen TVs became inexpensive, most of these TVs were HD, and cable companies offered HD content in their basic packages that people started caring about HD.
