I fully agree with Matt.
Amiga took off, but crash landed due nav error.

From business case standpoint, management made 2 cardinal errors which doomed the Amiga, one is all-known resource relocation to PC clones which instantly depleted enormous time and technology lead Amiga had at the decade switch and the other one goes to the fact company failed to learn the lesson IBM provided earlier - Amiga clones were more exception than rule.

Clones ment volume, competitive price and mass popularity which made Microsoft getting home run at first place.
