There's always the question as to why the CED disc system failed, but DVD was a success. They are both non-re-recordable media you buy specific movies on. DVDs did offer much better image resolution than VHS tapes did, and are fairly small. CED resolution was only slightly better than VHS, and suffered from the skipping problem. And were physically large.

The Laser Disc format succeed while CED did not, and that was primarily due in the early days to its use in industrial video systems. The consumer adoption took much longer. DVDs were far more popular, and a large part of that success was due to lessons learned in 16+ years of making Laser Discs.

The irony is that my 30 year old CED disks play well but many of my early Laserdisks are completely useless due to "laser rot".
Ironic because LV was promoted as being a format that would not wear out as no physical contact happened between the disk and the player.
