This paper studies the choice between product differentiation and compatibility for new entrants under the existence of network externality and switching cost,and discusses the compatible motivation of incumbent firms. The results show that: new entering firms have only two strategic combinations,namely maximum discrepancy&non-compatibility and maximum discrepancy&compatibility;incumbent firms prefer the compatibility.
