A lot of people, including NPD, say there are 40 Million US households with HDTV's. How could BD be the preferred method of 3D for HDTV owners when nearly 5 times as many HDTV owners don't have BD as compared to those who do?

I still see it as a gimmick and most consumers won't be bothered to wear glasses with cables hooked to a special 3DHDTV or a special 3DBD player, especially those who already wear glasses. Few movies were filmed in 3D, most 3D films were filmed in anaglyph 3D and I doubt the approach of digitally synthesizing a 3D image from a 2D film master will be anywhere near as successful as actual 3D filming.
