I was always of the understanding that BetaMax was by far the superior videotape format as far as quality, but Sony made the "Apple mistake" by developing a proprietary format that they wouldn't let any other company produce. Anybody who made VCRs could use the VHS format, so they were able to be price competative and outsold the Sony line. That Sony has already started developing licensing agreements for the use of their format is putting them in a better position this time out.
