The important parallel here is that RCA CED had more studio and electronic compnaies behind it. Hundreds of titles. Big bidget marketing (remember the Gene Kelly Tv spots?) and Laserdisc basically had Pioneer and MCA/Universal (in the early days)
HD DVD is the Laserdisc in this parallel and Blu-ray is CED.
Laserdisc won and was successful prior to DVD being releases. Laserdisc grew and lasted some 13 years after the death of CED.
It's just a fun parallel. The meek will inherit the earth.
