yes, sometimes a company can have almost whole market, and still lost. Blackberry, Nokia, Osborne, Kodak, Facit (calculators) just to mention a few.

IBM is another good example. They killed off their personal computer business for purely enterprise work.

yes they basically created the PC, and later exited the whole market, they also had a printer and laptop division, now all sold. I dont think they have any consumer products at all today, or do they?

Nope. They sold the ThinkPad and ThinkCenter name to Lenovo and that was their last consumer product iirc
