Well I see it like this:

Phase 1:
[Classic]

Phase 2:
[Classic Amigas with PPC running Amiga OS4.1]

Phase 3:
[PPC Computer running Amiga OS4.1]

NG Amigas are in phase 3 of course.

The advantages being:

- Brand new hardware
- Relatively modern hardware which is much more powerful than what you get in Phase 2
- Relatively affordable when price compared with what a highend Amiga 4000 with PPC fetches

Disadvantage:

- no custom chipsets so you if you want to play Pinball Dreams you have to get the A500 back down from the attic (or get a minimig)

I'm sure I can play Pinball Dreams using RunIN UAE on my X1000.

Yes of course, I was excluding emulation :)

Now if only Acube released an Amiga Core for their Sam series which came with an FPGA. I have a hunch about X5000 :P

Another option are NG FPGA Amiga

* Classic chipset  -  old games work
* brand new hardware
* better performance than Phase 5 Systems
* reasonable priced


Yes true, but usually with 'NG' people understand 'PPC', but of course, FPGA are awesome and way better than any emulator!
