There's just no way HDTV sales can drop, people go to the store to get a regular TV and get an HDTV because it's so cheap. Yeah, big-ticket HDTV sales can drop, like 52" panels or whatever. But since so many more TVs are sold in the 20-35" range and last year almost all were SDTVs and this year will be largely HDTVs, the overall sales will increase.
I'd still be a little scared to be in the HDTV selling business right now, since the big-ticket items are where the real money is made, and those sales will slow.
