You're basically looking at a few orange trees in an orange orchard. You need to look at the big picture here. I believe Minidisc was a failed format just as the author has said. I thought it was a cool concept, but definitely was a failed format. Do you see people putting minidiscs in their PCs today to make music CDs to play in their car? Do you see people put data on minidiscs to lug around with them on a regular basis? I don't.

Just because a few people still use minidisc, doesn't mean it's a successful product. That's like calling the Dreamcast a successful console just because a million or two people bought the system (not hating on the dreamcast, I loved it!). Considering the Wii ALREADY sold over 7 million units and the DS sold about 45 million units (I've seen some figures online, but don't remember the link location), the dreamcast sales were a drop in the bucket comparatively. And unfortunately, the system didn't last.
