If Sony still insisted on a fee for each recorded tape in Betamax
format, then yes, VHS would still prevail.
People don't want VCRs. They want to see movies, and will buy the
VCR that plays the movies they want to see.
And if they already have a collection of VHS tapes, it would cost
them a lot of $$ to switch to Beta, even if the VCR was free.
