That's basically because they bungled the marketing in a spectacular
way. (Though not in Japan, where they became household iltems.)

Great. You'll get to send your broken machine to Japan, then.


You'll be buying those discs again anyway, if you want to hear them in a few years.

According to most industry doomsayers, the CD is dead. So I wonder
about that.

I'll grant that you might not be rebuying them on CD. But at least if
you were making CDR backups you'd still be able to find a machine to
play them on in ten years. Hell, I have a machine to play 78s. But
I'd be crying now if I backed up anything of importance to any of the
prior Sony innovations. Anybody got an Elcassette player?
