You forgot the "all other things being equal" part.  There are some very 
large factors pushing the balance back and forth. 

As (I think) Laura said, LCD screen production is erratic, and that has 
a big effect on availability.  You've also got government-mandated 
obsolescence quickly approaching, so some people may have to buy whether 
they would otherwise have done so or not.  Then there's the fact that 
home electronics purchases are often made based more on emotion than 
logic.
