There are devices out there which are more than capable, and the majority of us technophiles will adopt early, but you have to remember that people still have black and white televisions, CRT-based TVs and DVDs are still on sale. Emerging markets will continue to use the cheaper and more readily available alternative - just common sense. DivX/XviD/H.264 are here to stay whilst people like you and I will adopt H.265 as soon as it's near final.

(I am making a sweeping generalization but if you've taken the time to read this thread then it's more than likely you know what H.264/5 is - hence the 'you and I' part).
