I think people are also generally done with discs.

Streaming is taking over or buying/renting movies off their cable box.

With Blu-Ray I re-bought a lot of my favorite movies to have them in HD, but with 4K, I'm not triple dipping for the same movies in moderately better looking format. Enough's enough, and I'm a huge movie buff, but I barely watch all the Blu-Ray movies I have as is and have dramatically stopped buying new movies because I know I can access them on Netflix or my cable service.

And streaming is going to be 720p/1080p for a long, long time IMO, same with cable service.

I don't think there will be a mainstream game console that runs actual 4K games any time before 2020 either. Playstation 5 is a long ways away. So good luck waiting for that unless you are a PC gamer willing to spend $2000+ on a PC rig and then hook that up to your TV.

Generally too I think people are getting sick of TV manufacturers telling them they have to switch to something new every few years too. I just don't think there's a big apetite here for this. If it's something you can slap into a $1000 LCD set almost like a bonus, great, but otherwise I don't think most people really give a rats arse. From what I saw it's just not enough of a "wow" factor the first time you see it.
