AO Interview - Dave Haynie

[zacman]

Well Haynie is a technical consultant of the OS4
project according to Hyperion. So his opinions
should not surprise anyone.

(I wonder why he doesn't know much about A1/OS4
then though).

Ok here are some more realistic numbers. These
were posted by Dr. Peter Kittel and only cover the
total sales of Commodore Germany until
31/12/1993:

Amiga CD32      25.000
Amiga CDTV      25.800
Amiga 500    1.081.000
Amiga 500+      79.500
Amiga 600      193.000
Amiga 1000      27.500
Amiga 1200      95.500
Amiga 2000     124.500
Amiga 3000       8.300
Amiga 4000/030   7.500
Amiga 4000/040   3.800

The sold machines in the first half of 1994 by
Commodore Germany have been:

Amiga CD32   25.000
Amiga CDTV  1.800
Amiga 500         21.000
Amiga 500+           9.500
Amiga 600         43.000
Amiga 1200         52.000
Amiga 2000           2.500
Amiga 3000               700
Amiga 4000/030       4.000
Amiga 4000/040         800

Interesting to see that even in 1994(!) the numbers
of sold A500/600 have been higher than all sold
other machines (A1200-4000) together.

I guess in other countries the A1200 must have been
sold very well then (if 5 million was true) ;-)

>sold more units than what Gerald Carda has been
>involved with so far.

AFAIK (and in this I might be wrong) Gerald Carda
has been involved in hw products with sales
numbers higher than 100 000 and that isn't that bad
after all.

>Your comment doesnt make sence though, surely
>you meant 1993?

No the timeframe for this comment was (as said)
first half of 1994 and not 1993.
