In my house we still have a TV that works...from like...1984 or earlier? I have not known my life with out it and it still works 20 years later. If it ain't broke then don't fix it.

Even though PAL is worse it is still optimizing it for PAL only TVs. Since PAL is the standard.
Way to miss the point.

Giving up on PAL for GAMES.

I bought a TV two years ago, it supports NTSC and it cost £50; the same TV now would probably be about £30, which is about £5 less than a brand new game, in fact you could probably get a better model for LESS. If a person can afford games, but can't get a better TV to view them, then you don't see a problem with that? And as far as I know, consoles now make use of SCART or AV cables, which most old TVs don't even support.

It's impossible to give up on PAL entirely because our ELECTRICITY runs on 50hz, we'd have to change the entire network to switch to NTSC, but releasing games straight from America in 60hz NTSC format would be without a problem because it's only the signal from the console to the TV.
