Why did they fail?

I know this is bait, but I'll give you a lengthy, autistic reply because some people might not know what's the deal with Beta vs. VHS.

"Beta" was used in professional TV, that is correct. But that was BetaCAM, NOT BetaMAX.
Same case shape, but the formats weren't compatible. You couldn't play betacam cassete on betamax player for example.
And Betacam could fit only 30 min of recording while each cassette was more expensive than both betamax and VHS.
Betacam was not fit, nor intended for the same purpose/market as VHS.

Betamax had exactly the same picture quality as VHS, but could fit only 1h recording, while VHS could fit 4h.
VHS cassette was also much better designed - better tape protection, cheaper to make, faster rewind, allowed somewhat simpler recorder guts.
On top of that, Sony wanted high license fees from other manufacturers that were making Betamax recorders. JVC wasn't as moneygrabby.
And that's why it fucking failed, despite Sony pushing it hard (again, for the license fees, not because it was better).

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 22 13:41:48 2021 No.15985483 The name definitely is a major factor.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 22 14:50:26 2021 No.15985801 >>15985415 Hydrox being kosher is what made them survive as long as they did, as soon as Oreo got certified kosher, Hydrox was doomed.

I admire your lengthy knowledge of ancient media but let me say this, when you are laying in your death bed none of that information will come to mind. The only knowledge that matters is knowledge of God in Jesus Christ. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose on the third day and you will be saved.

It's a shame that Hydrox cookies didn't stick round considering they taste way better than Oreos. Marketing always wins though. Oreo is just a better, more memorable name. Hydrox sounds like a powder you presoak your work shirts in before washing them, and having a more mature (less sweet) taste makes them less appealing to children. Snack foods live and die on how much they can make children scream for them at the grocery store.

>>Edison beat Tesla
If you want to get down to it, Westinghouse beat Edison, and Tesla was a non-contestant. People who bring up Tesla's name alongside Westinghouse and Edison are the kind of people who get their history trivia from crackerjack boxes and cartoons.
