Resident Evil 4 is 16:9 only, most recently. And no, most games don't
"downgrade" to 4:3, I know, usually they run worse in 16:9 if anything.
It's movies that get the shaft in 4:3. I'm just saying that games might be
headed that way too, since they'll be made to support HDTV resolutions in
the future, all of which are widescreen by default.
I don't know where you've been shopping for TVs, but it must be the
widescreen store or something. Probably 3/4 or more of televisions are 4:3,
still. And 90+ percent of TVs in homes are still 4:3.
