Sega's prior hardware failures had eroded consumer trust, and anticipation for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 2 overshadowed the launch.

Kindle cameras, Electronics, Baby Einstein Amazon's ecosystem, pricing strategy and frequent updates quickly eclipsed the Nook.

in about one business day you'll get three DVDs.

As streaming began to dominate the market in the early 2000s, Netflix announced Qwikster.

隨著串流媒體在 2000 年代初期開始主導市場，Netflix 宣佈推出 Qwikster。

This was a separate service intended to handle DVD rentals apart from streaming.

Within 23 days, CEO Reed Hastings reversed the decision and canceled Qwikster entirely.

我感覺很糟糕，因為我是一位目前的 Netflix 訂閱戶，我猜我最終會變成一個 Qwikster 訂閱戶，所以排名第 45 名的 Juiced，在成功推出 Skype 後，創辦人 Niklas Zenstrom 和 Yanis Friess 於 2006 年向世界介紹了 Joost，它基本上免費提供我網路電視。

A peer to peer Internet television platform backed by major hires and media deals, Joost set expectations high from the start.

Joost 是一個點對點的網路電視平臺，有主要員工和媒體交易的支持，從一開始就設定了很高的期望。

Unfortunately, it also required bulky software downloads, suffered from buffering, and delivered an awkward user experience.

These cons worked against Joost, which fell out of favor almost immediately as browser based streaming.

這些缺點都對 Joost 不利，隨著瀏覽器串流的興起，Joost 幾乎立刻就失寵了。

Improved timing alone couldn't replace Joost's missteps in thoughtful product design and the ability to sustain audience centered innovation over long development cycles and market lifetimes.

單純改善時程無法彌補 Joost 在產品設計上的失誤，也無法在漫長的開發週期和市場生命週期中維持以觀眾為中心的創新。

By 2009, Juiced shut down entirely, its failure pinned down to its misjudgment of usability, accessibility and consumer habits during a period of rapidly evolving technology.

到了 2009 年，Juiced 完全關閉，它的失敗歸咎於在快速變化的科技時代，誤判了易用性、可及性和消費者習慣。
