Quality does not always win.
BetaMax was better than VCR. Ironically, 25 years later, folks are trading in their tapes for DVDs.
Almost everything done by Microsoft was done better by the companies they displaced or put out of business, starting with DR Dos was tons better than MS Dos.
Quality often loses to a better marketed inferior product.

In the case of Betamax, depends if you are talking
the end consumer or commercial broadcast market...
Beta SP (and now DigiBeta) have been the standard
format of commercial broadcast for the past 15+ years.
