It is? First, its 163,708 GBP at current exchange rates, as the article said EURO.
Second what value would there be for you in this if they did spend it more wisely? If they did you'd have less to make fun of.
Just a thought but at £1500 per X1000 they'd only need to sell 110 of them to have made as much as it cost to develop. Now assuming that they're only seeing 10% profit from each machine that's 1,100 X1000's to break even.
I'm not sure that there's enough demand in the Amiga community, and I've pulled many of the numbers from my arse (
and i'm very tired)
but that 10% profit per machine is probably pessimistic given the £1500-ish price tag.
They may very well break even on just 500 or so machines if the machine itself is profitable.
