While 4 millions sound correct, 1 million A500 do not ....

C=-Germany sold ~1 millon A500s in 1991, but that was by far their best year, and lots of those actually went into shops outside of Germany.

Combined sales of non-A500-Amigas was under 400k (including 200k A1200s) with C=, followed up by a handfull of A4000T and 200k A1200s (not all produced were sold) by Escom.



Kronos,

Not sure where you got those numbers about non-A500 amigas total sale being less then 400K, but its pretty inaccurate.   All of the desktop amigas sold well over 100K in unit sales, (2K, 3K, 4K) and the A3000T and UX models also were fairly big sellers.   The A1000 sold over 250K in total units so that also hurts your numbers.

Amiga 4000/040   3.800


Well, o.k.,  it is only for Germany, but since that was their biggest market.



Biggest market for the baby amigas, not the desktops.  NASAU (who founded Amiga.org) had about 50 members in 91 when we hosted the big show here in town, 3/4 of us had big block Amigas, that was the year 10 or 12 of us got A3000s so we had those and our 2000s and our 1000s.  The historical record shows that there were well over 100,000 A1000s, you show that there were over 100,000 A2000s in Germany alone (lots more then that were sold in the US), the A3000 sold a bunch of units in the US because of all the deals.  Plus every developer bought one, CATS sold 1400 of them or so.  We made well over 100,000 A4000 motherboards for Commodore, so unless there is a huge number of populated A4000 motherboards sitting around in a warehouse, the number of A4000's sold exceeded 100K.

Now, it may be that big-box-Amigas sold much better in the US, but hardly 10 times as much as in Germany, as it would need to reach your 100k per model.

Again your data shows 2 out of 4 (A1000 & A2000) , I know the A4000 exceeded the number, given the huge popularity of the 3000 in the US, I seriously doubt it did not, especially if we count the 3000UX boxes (which Commodore sold 25K of in several college buy plans).

Even todays community shows that central-european A3/4k-owners still outnumber US-Amiga-owners (and are in turn outnumbered by central-european and UK-based A1200-owners).

No, very confused here.  20,000 toasters or so still running, mostly in the US, Canada, Mexico, virtually all in A2K to A4K systems.   Throw in the other video equipment stuff and it gets real bad.  The issue is that these people use there stuff every day to make video, not surf the web and argue about how many Amigas were made.  Well over 1/2 of the video toasters never make it to Ebay, someone selling a second one posts on VTFML or the Newtek site and its gone 3 hours later.
