What example other than beta can you point to? (And I'll note Beta is still used professionally).
Minidisc doesn't count, because it was a new format that didn't catch on (and actualy is still used a number of places), not a losing format.
And DAT got screwed by the record labels. It was 10 years ahead of its time, until recordable CDs finally came along.
