have you been reading any of my posts?

i agreed from the start that the majority of people own SD sets...
Which means a minority of people in the US own HDTVs. Which is what I've been saying. I know you are reading my posts 'cause you are replying to them but I don't think you are comprehending what I'm saying.

what i did say is that i think more people own HD sets than you may believe... never tried to back it up with any facts... if you have numbers that can prove my ASSUMPTION wrong... lets see them...
How can more people own HD sets than I may believe when I base my beliefs on the reported numbers of HDTVs people own?

EDIT: this is from an artical in march regarding the PS3 release & HDTV from here:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/features/jan-june06/dvds_3-22.html

"About 22 percent of Americans own a high-definition television, according to a Gallup poll, and that number is expected to climb as the costs of the sets fall."

22% of Americans is a good number of people... and thats just here in the states...

i dont know how accurate this number is but i would harldy say that HDTV owners are miniscule...
Last time I checked 22% would quality as a "minority" which is what I've been saying HDTV owners are. Why did you go dig up a link when this info has already been posted in this thread?

Because you are trying to portray HDTV owners as slim to none, which i and approximately 66 million others would disagree.

i am not arguing that HDTV owners are the minority... but almost 70 million viewers in the US alone is a lot of people.
