By your logic, Sony should have gone bankrupt with Betamax so they couldn't hit us with another losing format--wait.. well, there goes that plan. damn.
VHS (Video Home System or Victor Home System) was created by JVC. I dont think they are out of buisiness yet.
Also if you want to look at broadcasting, the Beta wasnt a total faliure, just in the consumer world. But was the standard for years at Broadcast studios.

Hope they go bankrupt so they dont put out another shitty format and cause us more problems.

competition and innovation are rarely problems. We could do with a Blu-Ray challenger or thirty, I say. Offering us more.

VHS stands for "Vertical Helical Scan" - it's an acronym of the the technology.
