It needs to be very large numbers to describe it as hurting sales.

and I certainly didn't say 'happy' with SD.

so who said

maybe you should warn the mods that someone hijacked your account

But since in the U.S. alone there are 40 million households with SD, there certainly is a lot of people who, for whatever reason haven't upgraded yet. And anyone doing so now, for whatever reason, is going to be looking at a market muddied by all the 4K/Ultra HD talk and if they waited this long, may wait longer for the dust to settle.

but that makes no sense, the person that will think twice about spending 50$ on a BD player won't be willing to spend 100$ or even 500$ on a 4k player. This is like saying the 2015 Lamborghinis muddy the water for sales of used Kias

I'd appreciate if you stop the personal attacks.

there was no personal attack, but since we are saying what we would appreciate I would appreciate if you did not make garbage posts
