I always wondered, how is it that when someone invented the cd player, every manufacturer like Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Sanyo, LG, etc immediately had a CD player to sell. Same thing for every other major electronics appliance like the VCR, the walkman, the mouse, a flat screen tv, blutooth headphones, etc. How is it that whichever company that invented these incredibly popular products didn't hold a patent to dominate the market by being the sole manufacturer of such products like the iPod, or the playstation. I understand that you can make the argument that there was the Zune and other mp3 players, but when it comes to a cd player or a flat-screen tv; every manufacturer is doing the same thing essentially, while a playstation 5 and an Xbox One are completely separate devices.
