Revolution could have mass market appeal. I know more 20-30 yr olds than I can count that are eagerly awaiting E3 2006 to see exactly what Revolution can do with the controls.

Except that in the next 5 years many countries around the world have mandated that analogue TV signals will end (US, UK, most of Europe), so all those people who still depend on OTA signals will either have to get a set-top box or a new TV. I think that change will really spur HD adoption.
I don't think missing HD resolutions will hurt the Revolution at launch, but a few years down the road that will be a feature missing that people will expect. Is there a chance for any sort of a HD module to be added later?
