Most people here are probably too young to remember that DVD was at war with DIVX when it launched in 1997.
(The DivX codec was named after the losing format.)
At launch DIVX had exclusive studios of Dreamworks, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount Pictures -- yep, they didn't release on DVD until DIVX was dead. DIVX had serious DRM, were all in Pan&Scan (no widescreen), no features (only trailers), and was primarily designed for rental market -- these studios didn't believe people would want to buy discs.
Once DIVX was dead, DVD took off and eventually eclipsed VHS sales.
PS2 included a terrible DVD player some three years after the launch of the format.
So actually DVD vs DIVX is quite similar to Blu-ray versus HD DVD, except that DVD sold more discs than both HDM added together.
