Big part of DVD's success was consumer's adoption of Audio CD, "movies on a CD" with simple ease of use. It was already familiar in a way to the average joe and a definite step-up to VHS. Plus you could play CDs in the players as well right off the bat at launch.
CED was a terrible format, like the 8-Track of Video, and LaserDisc equipment and titles never reached an acceptable price level for mainstream adoption. It remained a rich man's format.
