I knew what their intention was and it was very successful at that, but the discs are on 1.5 gigs, small as hell by today’s standards. And not even being able to play regular DVDs hurt it's image (I say image cause everyone now has a DVD player other than their gaming machine). So I suppose it isn’t the fact that the disc where proprietary, but that they had limited data handling capabilities over competition.
