Again, I make no predictions on which one will be adopted. You may be absolutely right, this time the public, being more tech-savy as a whole than 30 years ago, may be won over by the better technical specs. Then again, maybe not.

But in the end, it is a 100% guarantee that if consumers want nothing to do with with one of the two for whatever reason, it will fail.
