Fun fact: The failure of DAT directly resulted in Sony becoming a record label.

You see, when Sony introduced DAT, record labels did everything they could to destroy the format because of "piracy". And they succeeded on the consumer front.

So Sony bought the label, Columbia, that was giving them the most grief. This was so that the next time they released a format, they'd have some music industry backing.
