The big box stores make more on the LCD's than the Plasmas these days because of the competition for plasma sets, so definitely they are pushing those and I see that as the reason why plasma is selling less. I still don't feel like LCD has the better picture at this point, but it's quickly catching up. A Pioneer Elite 1080P plasma still looks better IMO than the best Sony 1080P LCD. All the higher end brands (Runco, Vidikron, Fujitsu) only carry Plasma so that should tell you something right there.

Simply not true. As an consumer electronics retailer I can tell you for a fact that the margin is bigger on plasmas than LCD's.
