I am guessing that the longer it takes A-Eon to produce boards and complete systems to get into the beta-testers hands and then again, another production run to get more systems into general sales release, the more likely it is that the entire project will fail and never be completed.
There has already been more than enough negative comments by dozens of people about the specs, the proposed price, the lack of information regarding the CPU, etc., to discourage other potential purchasers. If any of us were in a position where we were putting up thousands of our own dollars/euros/pounds to fund the X-1000 project and we read all the negative comments being written over the last few months, I think most of us might start having second thoughts about going forward and spending even more money on the project to see it finished if we were not sure how many sales could be made to recoup some or all of our investment, let alone make any profit. So if more potential purchasers keep writing forum messages stating that they like the idea of a new Amiga, but the spec to cost ratio of the X-1000 is not for them, what are the chances that A-Eon may at some point realize that they will not be able to sell enough machines and/or boards to recoup their investment and then decide to cancel the project instead of risking even more money to complete any stage of the production?
