CDs were "proprietary" until Sony and Phillips introduced them.  Yeah, that's right, CDs are more of a Sony format than blu-ray.  I think those worked out well.  What was that cool device that used CDs?  Oh yeah, the Playstation 1.

DVDs weren't widely adopted until...what was that thing called...oh yeah, the Playstation 2.

Uh, no. While Sony had a hand in CD, Phillips was the real driving force whereas Blu-Ray is completely Sony.

And DVDs were widely adopted before the PS2, unless you consider 25m players sold in the US "not widely adopted". I'm sick and tired of that myth. DVDs were well on their way to dominance before the PS2 even released.
