Oh, how quickly the mighty have fallen (again). Shortly after Matsushita
dropped to third in plasma shipments in Q1, the outfit has leapfrogged both LG and Samsung SDI in order to claim the gold in Q2 2008. The outfit's revenue share skyrocketed from 29.4% to 36.8%, showing a 23% year-over-year improvement. Also of note, 1080p PDPs saw remarkable growth (54% year-over-year) this quarter, which were reportedly driven by sales of 46-inch models. Looking at Matsushita in particular, over 43% of its plasma shipments in Q2 were 1080p, and overall it "accounted for over 70% of all 1080p PDP shipments." Anyone taking
bets on who comes out on top in Q3?

Good prices and good quality plasmas... Should have happened a long time ago.
Still breaking in my Panny 50pz800u, and it looks better than anything I've ever seen outside of a store.

Apparently including that many numbers makes people not care.
