Do Developers think all Console owners have 50" TV's?

What you're talking about has more to do with screen resolution than size. I have a 1080p monitor and I can see all text just fine. Remember they don't make the games on 50" HDTVs. I understand what your issue, and I notice it whenever I use my friends CRT-TV.

No, it really is the HD factor. I got my new tv (HD, but the same size as my old one) right after Mirror's Edge came out. Talk about horrible. The tutorial text on the SDTV was completely illegible. The HD was still small (27"), but it was at least readable.

Got a 22" HDTV and sit perhaps a meter from the screen. I have absolutley no problems reading the text in any games. The computer is harder for me(the tooltips in WoW makes me have to lean in and focus like hell).

It's not so much they think we have HDTVs or large TVs as they really don't give a damn what we have and decide to do what they want to do.

...Okay, Serious time. I know where you are coming from. I have a 32? LCD HDTV, but it is at school most of the year. The consol is at home, and bringing it back and forth is too much trouble. So instead I game on a crap Zenith TV (the kind built into a cabinet), and I can't shit.

Man, I am, from the bottom of my heart, truly sorry.
I didn't know TV size could affect that.
