Common knowledge: Doom killed the amiga
Why it's wrong: Doom was released in December of 93. Commodore declared bankruptcy in April 94. There's plain not enough time for an entire platform to go from doing well to dying off, based on one game in about 4 months. (Doom was massively important in fuelling the PC as a valid games platform, but that's an entirely different story)
Doom didn't kill the Amiga, Wolfenstein did... Released in '92, it showed where computer graphics were going. And none of Commodore's Amiga offerings came close to it... The then 7 year old Amiga architecture was useless for that type of game and game developers knew it. Software quality declined, sales of Amigas declined... Doom was released, the Amiga had no hope by then... The ball was already rolling... Commodore folds, end of story.
