Problem is, you only see the kind of detail those pictures show if you sit with your nose pressed against a screen, or play on an ginormous screen.

For the vast majority of consumers, 1080p to 720p is not a big difference.

Well the average screen size has been increasing steadily for the last 10 years and the difference is quite easy to see on a 40" screen from 2-3 metres. So for a good number of consumers the difference will already be apparent and that number will only increase as time goes by.

Also, I find the difference more obvious when in motion.

Well, many people still buy DVDs over Blu Ray, so I'm not sure the public is really all that hung up on it. I mean, us internet gamers care, but we need to remember we're a vocal minority who care far more about these things than your average consumer does.

People still buy optical media?
