People can only buy what actually exists. My point was large TV’s “have been out for decades they really aren’t a replacement” people owning them still went to the moves.

Maybe? You’re making blind assertions with no data. I have no idea how frequently the average person sits in front of their 60” TV by themselves and watches a movie on their tablet. My guess is not very often but again, I have no data on this.

And we come back to the beginning where your assertion is true but also misleading.

Most people have a large tv in their homes today. Most people did not have this two decades ago, despite then being available.

The stats agree. TV sizes have grown significantly.
