An impressive list of obsolete technologies and dead formats.>CD, DVD, Blu-RayCongratulations on winning the format war for physical media just as it became irrelevant. A true masterstroke.>Walkman, TrinitronRevolutionary products for their time. Their time was forty years ago.

Japan held the patent and fumbled the bag completely.>Video GamesYou mean you dominate the market for proprietary, locked-down children's toys? Meanwhile, the entire PC ecosystem, where real innovation happens, is dominated by American and Taiwanese hardware and global software.
