Kevin,
Look at it this way…others may have licensed CD-I…but what do
they have to show for it? This may well end up being a first to market,
wins situtation. Especially if CBM is willing to license the technology
for it.
Also, the fact that the announced price will be about 1/2 the
expected price of CD-I units also bodes well for Commodore.
The consumer market is quite volitile, but it's main driving force
seems to be price over quality (witness the Beta vs VHS issue). With CDTV
seeming to have both price and quality…and being first to market.. it may
well be the 'winner' over CD-I.
