I beleive that the Beta minority (of consumers, that is) is VERY loyal
to their format, and too many people will buy nothing but Sony because
of its reputation.  If you want a more learned opinion, try to find a
copy of last month's VIDEO magazine.  They have an article about
Zenith throwing in the towel, but it's really about VHS vs Beta in
general.

I also think that the question is moot, because 8mm will eventually
dominate both current formats (although I think Kodak was a bit
premature).
