CED failed because RCA failed to deliver on its promise of $5 titles.
My dad bought a CED machine over LaserDisc circa 1982 because of the problems that were associated with LaserDisc at the time. Of course, VHS crushed CED, even though CED had better picture quality. The "flipping" was annoying, but *Star Wars* and *Empire* certainly looked much sweeter on CED than on VHS (of course).
