    It’s the Sony approach. Betamax was beaten by VHS (despite being better), and then Video8 was beaten by pretty much every competing format, so their strategy to defeat HD-DVD with Blu-ray was to methodically shove it up every consumer’s ass no matter how much they kicked and screamed. They spent a lot of money doing it, but they came out of it with market dominance.
