I think people forget that there is also the problem of being "too early" where people or the technology isn't ready yet. Netflix timed their entry perfectly.

There are so many defunct websites or businesses that no one has ever heard of that were precursors to modern day services we view as conveniences.

it's not about being the first, just the first one when the technology/cost are just right.
