My son used to work @ Best Buy. If you notice, often the plasma's are displayed by themselves and the picture id dumbed down for display purposes. BB makes a killing on LED/LCD units compared to plasmas.
The BB's by my house mix up the plasmas and LCD's. I didn't notice much segregation. But when you go to Fry's Electronics, you can clearly see that plasmas and LCD's are in separate aisles, so I'm not surprised that you mention this. My friend used to work at Fry's Electronics. He told me that due to the competitive nature of LCD's/LED's, they are low margin/loss leader items...which is why they try very hard to sell you warranties and those $50 HDMI cables. These retailers are cranking out LCDs/LEDs, but it's mainly to help sell the "add-ons" for extra margin.
