Actually, PSP also pushed a video format, the MiniDisc movie format, whatever that was. That did make its way to the US, but it didn’t do very well there. I don’t know how well it did in Japan.
UMD.
As far as I’m aware, it was essentially hi-MD, but with video support as well as audio. MiniDisc was an awesome format, sadly usurped before it could really take hold, partly by the rise of MP3, but also by the fact that anyone wanting to produce a player had to licence it. So very few companies bothered because CD was already good enough for most people.
