You are very ill-informed I'm afraid.
Pioneer's announcemet was that they will be sharing technology with Panasonic so they can manufacture their KURO panels. They are not getting out of plasma, far from it, and neither are Panasonic, who recently announced a new plasma size (46"), to go along with their existing 42", 50", 60", 103", and 150".
If you had actually seen a side by side of plasma vs LCD you would see why higher end screen makers, such as Pioneer and Panasonic remain totally committed to it. Only SED/OLED could ultimately beat it for image quality, but that is still many years away from being affordable at large sizes.
