Sure.  But my point is the notion that observed IPv6 traffic volumes are due to deliberate migration is not correct.

when the average consumer (real) broadband connection becomes v6 capable, about 40% of the traffic is instantly ipv6, 
thank you netflix, facebook, netflix, google, netflix, and netflix.

'When', or 'if'?  The creeping proliferation of CGNs and the like, along with your example of TVs and oblique point 
about the sparsity of IPv6-enabled content/services/applications, does not necessarily support the conclusion that 
wholesale migration within the near- or medium-terms is inevitable.
