Made, Sold, being used etc. There must be a rough number out there.
Anyway to get a actual production count?

There were two or three pools in Amigaworld about it...
However seem that in the world exists 1500/1700 (max upto 2000) AmigaONEs and 1200/1500 (max 2000) Pegasos machines...
and 3000 still-alive Classic Amigas A1200 and A4000 equipped with PPC boards out of the 10.000 PPC boards that were officially declared produced...
This means that about 3000 Amiga users are equipped with up-to-date machines and other 3000 users are equipped with vintage still-good-for-hobby-use machines...
Also there are various dozens of thousands of unaccelerated A500, A600, A2000, A3000, A1200 and A4000 out there for retrocomputing...
Also there should be 300 die-hard fans of Amithlon emulator.
And judging from hundreds and hundreds of requests of people asking how to use WinUAE in forums about game, retrogame and vintage computing there should be almost 10.000/15.000 emulated Amigas worldwide...
Only here in Italy I counted this two last months 20/25 requests for peopole asking how to use WinUAE for running games...
Just multiply this number for dozens and dozens requests for Winuae in these last two years, in various countries worldwide.
But emulated Amigas are used just for games fanboys.
There are just almost twenty, or thirty people using WinUAE to coding AmigaOS 3.x universal software... And almost I think 100 or 200 people using WinUAE for serious things...
So now you can make your counts...
-
Too many really! I believe that though.

In one of his statements to the court, Evert Carton mentions that less then 1000 AmigaOnes were sold.

I've heard that number before, but I didn't mention it.

According to Evert Carton's (Hyperion) testimony, about 1000 Amigaones give or take a few.
Based on Adam Kowalczyk's number of 300 Micros, that means about 700 SE/XE, with the XE being prominant in that total.
According to ironfist:
* 600 Pegasos1, where most were upgraded twice
for free (April1 and 2).
* 400 EFIKAs were produced in the first batch and
were sent to developers.
Pegasos 2 and ODW numbers are classified.

For some reason that really made me laugh :-)

Around 1000 made. It's not been made public how many of those sold though at least one A1 vendor has recently stated that they intend to sell off their remaining A1 stock (no indication of how many), so obviously they didn't *all* sell.
Being used? Fewer each month as they've been dying off for years now. If you figure a conservative die-off rate of two per month, that's 24 per year, and they went on sale what - in 2003? So figure around 120+ have died.
There was a poll a couple months ago on AWN of active OS4 users in the UK. I can't recall exactly how many responded, but the results of the poll would be a good watermark because there are barely any A1 owners in the US and only a handful more in Canada. It wouldn't be a huge shock to me if there were only about 500-600 active A1 users today.

Pegasos2 and ODW were 2400 units in total.

Evert Carton is head of Hyperion not Eyetech. He's probably right, but a statement from Eyetech's Alan Redhouse would be worth more. After all, selling the hardware was Eyetech's job.

I would have thought more than 400 efikas but.. shrugs..

ok. But my post above was Adam's #.
That would be MAI Logic's #, since he was responsible for getting these TO market THRU Alan.
Of those 300 Micros, many never made it to the users and never will.
Nevertheless, it comes down to whether whose word one chooses to believe.

Nice spin.
Now here's what Louie Dituri of Computer Connection said.
Additionally I have decided to sell one of my Amiga One systems.

He would of course know exactly how many registered copies of OS4 for AmigaOne exist, a figure which is likely to be pretty close to the amount of boards that were built and sold as AmigaOne.

What's Alan Redhouse upto these days anyway? Still at all involved with the Amiga? I know he sold off the remaining Eyetech sock.
