That certainly was true for the longest time in the Philippines (an NTSC country) though I think in the last few years the use of Betamax there has waned. In the NTSC countries of Latin America (eg. Colombia and Ecuador) Betamax was also king for a long time. You still see buses on the hi-ways emblazoned with "Betamax" signs to tell people they have movies on the bus. My Betamax is now gathering dust, but I kept it running for a long time in case I needed to send a tape to the Philippines or Colombia where several of my clients had offices.

I've no idea of the comparative costs though.
