Isn't that why, for all these years, North American television wasn't as good as European television? Are you referring to NTSC vs. the 25fps formats (SECAM and most varieties of PAL)? That had nothing to do with expense, and there are comparative advantages and disadvantages on both sides. In my opinion, NTSC's shortcomings are preferable. Quote:The VHS victory over Betamax was, in many ways, a victory for a cheaper product. It also was a product that did a better job of satisfying consumers. This time, the studios decided for us. Quote:I remember the Amiga computer being outmarketed by Atari as well ( I guess I have to blame Japan for that.) A chimpanzee could have done a better job than Commodore's marketing department at the time. It's a darn shame, as the Amiga was an excellent product. Quote:How nice for us that the superior, more expensive format won this time. More expensive? Yes. Superior? Highly debatable. |
