Remember RCA used every trick in the book to delay and delay approval of the CBS system. Every day of delay meant more sets incompatible with the CBS standard in homes.

RCA's system also had the advantage of being all electronic from the get go. CBS's system could easily have electronic sets by 1953 similar to NTSC but the incompatibility issue would remain.

I note how RCA advertising often talks of "compatible color" long after it was moot.
