krik,
most people don't care about HD
55% of hdtv owners don't even get hd content on their tv...and 25% think they are watching hd when they aren't
many people just don't see much (if any) difference in hd and dvd quality (which is what wii is)
people buy hdtvs because they are flat and can hang on the wall
hd is overshooting what consumers want (except for many hardcore gamers), while standard gamepads is undershooting what consumers want (except for many hardcore gamers)
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)
