Okay from what I understand Commodore started working on the C65 in 1990 (and killed it the following year), when the Apple 2 GS was already looking old. Why did Commodore wait so long, it should have been obvious that by 1990 they missed their chance. A few years eariler it could have helped the Amiga by bridging C64 with the Amiga, at the very least maximise profits from the C64 market yet I highly doubt even if Commodore launched the C65 in the 90's it would have been succesful.
There was no real chance of bridging the amiga to c64 in the beginning. C64 was a different processor, and the amiga didnt have enough computing power to emulate it. Back in c64 land, compatability wasnt an issue, the field was new and people were accepting of that
