Will plasma disappear as a display technology?

I'm not trying to cry wolf here. I far prefer plasma to the currently available display technologies, and may buy one this year.

But Sony stopped making plasma several years ago.

And now Fijitsu, who at one time were considered to make some of the best plasma displays, has recently plugged the plug on their plasma division (see link below).

And as you well know, Sony also announced earlier this week it would stop making RPTVs.

Are we seeing the beginning of a consolidation in display technologies?

Plasmas were finally getting rather affordable and I guess they became so affordable they were not longer profitable.

The one display type that seems to being going strong is LCD, which I don't care for. It certainly is highly functional in bright lighting situations.
