The A1200 a success ?

It's anual sales were FAR lower than those of the A500, which sold
far less than the C=64 ....


Only a minority of A1200-buyers where 1st-time convicts, most just
switched fron an A500 (like me myself and I).

The A1200 was NOT superior to the PCs of the day (which the A500 was),
and the ~250k units sold under C= were far to few to get anywhere
near the SW-base (games) the A500 had.

If C= had concentrated on the Amiga in the late 80's, finishing AA
by 90 .... well that would have been a massive success, but AA in
late 92, with only very expensive small HDs (or none at all) was to
little to late.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
