I don't think it has to really do with Nintendo or gamers getting tired of "shiny new graphics".
It's the price plain & simple. $ 400 for the premium unit is too much money. Until Microsoft drops the price (likely early Spring when the PS3 is in ready supply) then you'll see the sales start to pickup.
I'd like to say one more thing. This was brought to my attention last Friday and I took a look. Evidently ABC feels the need (I think it's in the contracts) to filter the faces of Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts. You can see this because Tony Perkins face is MUCH sharper outside than when the others are inside or outside the studio.
I really hope that when NBC's Today Show and CBS's Early Show go HD they don't do the same thing but I fear they will :(
I got some pics of the show in HD for those wondering what it looked like:

For those of you in the mountain or central time zone I feel sorry that you have to wait till spring to get it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Course I've never paid more than $ 20 for any of my Xbox 360 games (all 31 of them).
There is no game that I need to have right now so I can wait for them to drop in price and/or get them used in great condition.
