They have failed even more miserably than the new owners of Commodore who went for it big time with the C64 DTV...
The C64 DTV was produced by a coalition of companies, of which Yeahronimo (later renamed Commodore, Inc.) was one of them.
...why didn't they even commission a similar Amiga in a joystick...
Amiga, Inc was contacted about having Amiga OS on a chip for use in a joystick-style game device. No response from Amiga, Inc..
