Well they do say that's why betamax failed. I think in reality it's fairly was a bit more complicated than that, but it can't have helped.
And blu-ray over HD-DVD, although I've heard a couple of Sony fanboy rants telling me how wrong I am, so take it fwiw.
I told them they should have gone with Alphamax but nobody wanted to hear it once the Sigmamax schism happened.
