These Sony things didn't fail...
Compact Disc (sony/philips)
DVD (jointly with many other vendors)
MF2 (otherwise known as the 3.5" floppy disk)
Minidisc (it wasn't a huge consumer success but it was a big broadcast audio success)
The Aperture Grille CRT (Trinitron, to you and me)
DVD+R, +RW
Blu-Ray (well it beat HD-DVD but some might say it just hasn't failed *yet*)
Betacam (not betamax)
Walkman
Transistor Radio
etc.
DAT
