How successful would have the N64 have been had Nintendo choosen to use the brand new DVD format? At (over) 10 times the capacity of a CD it wouldn't have had the multi-disc problem that plagued the Playstation, and the games would have been able to have far more high quality textures, sounds and videos. Unfortunately the N64 would have cost $600 ...
As you can infer, just because a format will eventually dominate and be an excellent inclusion on a system it doesn't mean that it is always a good inclusion.
