I remember a convo I had with my then brother-in-law about 25 years ago:
I said, "Maurice, go VHS.  Looks like everyone's going VHS, and not
too many are joining Sony with Beta".
Maurice said, "C'mon frank, Sony's the biggest home video player on
the block.  I think Beta will be around for a long long time."

Beta was around for a long time, just more expensive and hard to find 
after a while...
