BD vs HD DVD - different PQ due to preferences of Japanese vs American consumers?

[Rio]

I don't prefer softer image. I do like sharper but also natural image if it's not false one, like edge enhancement. Am I not a typical Japanese? One thing everytime I try when I face different display is, adjust the sharpness. Some of displays set too much edge enhance as a default setting and this makes picture quality much much worse if the original picture is fine.

And don't forget, there are people in Japan who think that best VC-1 titles are still look soft and noisy , also there are people working for crazy 8K camera and displays...
