Everything Commodore released since the original A1000 was old before it even hit the shelves.  There was nothing original or groundbreaking.  They deserved to go bust a lot sooner than they did - they were very lucky to last until 1994.

CDTV - First CD Based Computer well ahead of its time!!! True it was just a CD based A500 but the main idea was original and groundbreaking..

The purpose of the A500 was that it was a cheap home computer.

As for the A1200 if they were so stupid why do people still use them today and spend loads of money upgrading them.

Commodore had their 8bit goldmine. It was the Commodore 64. The bestest selling 8 bit computer. The reason they kept it going for years is because people were still buying them and people were still making games and demos for it.
Surely it would be stupid to suddenlt stop selling the best selling 8 bit computer of all time.

(even though it was the jag that was slammed in the press for not being fully 64bit)

The jag was slammed coz it was actually 2 32bit processors not 1 64 bit processor making it difficult to program for
