In fairness... The military bought it in a fire sale after it failed.
Totally agree on No Man's Sky.
Minidisc was questionable because it definitely found a few niches, of which I knew a bunch of people in college:
- Music Fans / Bootleggers
- Radio station DJ's
- People who thought portable CD players were too big (before MP3 players)
- Audiophiles(?)
It had some good use cases, it just didn't live up to Sony's Dream of becoming the new standard. Sony, for its part, had a few huge successes, but their past is littered with failed formats they hoped would be the Next Big Thing.
