Actually BetaMax is a superior standard, TV stations used it... but, it was A LOT more expensive. Sony thought that just being superior was gonna win over the standards war.
ummmm achchuly what you are thinking is betacam, not betamax. Betamax was only marginally better than vhs while being more expensive because it has a smaller casette/tape. The professional use betacam came later than the whole betamax vs vhs.
