  No, Itanium failed because Intel made the error to allow other companies to compete on the x86 space with their patents cross licensing deal. Competition from other architectures was always there.

      Of course having the option to run existing binaries made it a no brainer for companies to avoid spending money. Hence Intel's mistake.

    Dynamic x86 imterpretation could have made competition as well. There were companies that did that and had Intel moved to EPIC others might have done what AMD did.
