and the CD32... I really liked it. BUT come on, a main selling point was the 32bits...they used a NINE year old 32 bit CPU. (the 020) came out in 84.

The Amiga 1000 was released in 1985 with a processor (the 68000) that had been first released in 1979.  Sometimes it takes time for a chip to get affordable enough for it to start finding its way into home equipment (i.e. a sub-$300 game console like the CD32).
