Agreed, we've digressed somewhat, but for the people who haven't been following from the beginning... we're trying to frame PS3 sales to this games particular audience.
Good point about content driving HD, but I do think a lot of Americans will be upgrading their sets regardless of content or television availability. Laoldar points out we'll see the impact of this in Q2-Q3 as uneducated customers buy flatpanels for "sh*ts n' giggles" with matching consoles/next gen dvd players using their rebates.
The question at the end of the day which is difficult to answer is, we know the market is there, but will people choose PS3 with games like LBP for their family entertainment?
I hope so, I look forward to future Rock Band and LBP parties at my place. You're all invited, punch n pie. Downbidders can stay at home. :)
