Matsushita's Plasma TV Sales Disappoint

Note that 20% of Matsushita's Q2 plasma shipment were in the 37" size - which is fairly and squarely LCD territory. This source of volume is bound to dry up and leave them high and dry. Matsushita have a much lower 50" percentage (10% of their total volume) than LGE (20%); in absolute numbers LGE have 1.7X Matsushita at that larger size. The 103" is a red herring.
