I think the main thing people are forgetting is that compared to plain old analog 4:3 televisions, next to no one owns an HDTV. These people are fighting tooth and nail to conquer a market that doesn't yet exist.

My hope is that the availability of all of this new content (video games and both movie formats) will give the HDTV industry a boost. I'm hoping it starts a snowball effect. The more HDTV's in use, the more content that will be made to display on them, having more content available will inspire more people to buy HDTVs.
