It'salso what killed the PS/2.  IBM was hoping it would replace their current line of PCs, but because of the PS/2s higher price and incompatibility issues with various hard/software, it was hard to find enough developers willing to work with it, so that never happened.  Also, 5.25" floppies were still very much the norm, and since the PS/2 used only 3.5" disks, that was just another nail in the coffin.
