Apple has a "
Reality Distortion Field" mentality to their userbase which allows them for the most part to survive unsuccessful product launches. The last time around it took them over a decade of
really awful consecutive product debuts before they nearly went bankrupt.
I don't think RCA had the same userbase that could of backed them up on a flopped product. In a way that's a good thing because it means RCA's primary customers were not licking windows.
