Just labelling things as "new" doesn't mean they'll sell. People will want to know what what "new" features they'll get on the "new" Internet. Will it be faster? Will there be new content? With DOCSIS 3.0 there is the promise of faster connections, which may well be a selling point to consumers. I am not sure what IPv6 feature will sell a product to an ordinary consumer. I don't think the new features are easy to convey in a sound-bite or a sticker.
I think you over-estimate the average consumer, and under-estimate the ability for the major stores to push the things with the largest amount of stickers to the average end-user.
