Oh really? They killed betamax because they want all the profit to themselves.

They shot their own foot on that one. Betamax was the superior format than VHS but they kept the tech to themselves paving the VHS to win the format war.

You're going to have to be a lot more descriptive...

What part didn't you understand?

All of it. But mostly the "kept the tech to themselves". What "tech"? Why?

[–] wildcardology 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sony kept Betamax format proprietary they won't allow anybody to use it freely. While VHS was made open source.

You ever heard of a little thing called Blu-Ray? Was that open source?

Ever heard of a little company called Apple? Because they're basically the antithesis of open source but still insanely successful.

Have you ever heard of insanely good marketing?
