So if you wanna blame someone, blame yourself for when you didn't buy that title but got it from your friend at the user group or off some bbs. You made it unprofitable. Blame your neighbor who bought that not as good clone PC hardware because it was "SOO" cheap..
It wasn't just hardware sales here, how many word processors did you own and use? How many games did you buy vs everything else? Would you still use MS Word or Excel somewhere else because it was "better"..
Everyone should think about their folly and where the Amiga could be today, if people had really bought in the way the PC folks did into business.
The piracy thing again ? I doubt piracy harmed Amiga more than video-games or lack of office-type software.
Commodore mistake was simple: They were selling Amiga as "universal machine/gaming machine", and what can accountant do with it?
Bad blood with Atari made things just worst, instead making efforts to enter business market, lot of time was wasted on this stupidity. Apple did a great job back then forcing it's way to the professional musicians and DTP people not even trying to get into video-games market. All computer companies from 90's that based their business strategies on game market went down.
