Personally, I think both will survive as hardware prices drop & folks buy cheaper HD players, with the studios rolling out more popular titles over time, but you & racerguy have good points. In addition to hot new releases there are a number of hugely popular franchises (James Bond series, LoTR series, Star Wars series, Raiders series, Alien series, etc.) that would probably make a major dent in sales and better establish high definition in the mainstream market, but so far high profile series and big Box Office features have just been trickling out. Releasing only third string titles and animation will not sell high definition to the general public.
