RE: Do you understand the difference between "introduction" and "demonstration?"

>>Here is what I said, my exact words:
Laserdisc's competitor was DVD, which thoroughly kicked its butt once introduced.
And the industry knew that was coming and never fully got behind laserdisc.

So what exactly is your problem with that?<<

Here's my problem with that:

So when exactly do you think "the industry" knew that DVD was coming? 1980? 1981? 1985?

Jazz, Laserdisc was relegated to niche status almost from its inception. It was obvious that it would never break into the mainstream long before the concept of DVD was even a gleam in someone's eye.

Your claim that "the industry knew [DVD] was coming and never fully got behind laserdisc" is simply ludicrous. Where do you come up with this stuff?
