There is much debate in gaming circles these days about HDTV, Blu-ray, and 1080p. That’s because the (1) the Nintendo Revolution doesn’t support HDTV, (2) the PS3 is also a Blu-ray player, and (3) the PS3 puts out 1080p. This post only addresses point 1.

It seems that Nintendo’s decision not to support HD may have been a bad one. Currently 10 to 15 percent of Americans have and HDTV in their home. By the end of 2006, that number will be 26%, according to a recent survey by Panasonic. That’s phenominal growth.

This can only mean that acceptance of HDTV is finally snowballing. HDTV purchases have only been growing slowly because we were at the beginning and it takes some time to build up momentum. But now that momentum is here and more and more people are putting those lovely HDTV television into their family rooms.

Are you listening Nintendo? Maybe HD support would be a good idea after all? Hmmm?
