That seems about right. Whenever I read comments about the Amiga not being popular in North America I always wonder "what the heck?" and have to check to see where the author is from (usually the USA). Here in Ontario, Canada my friends and I had Amigas. There were several stores nearby that sold them, too, including at least one in the local mall. I worked in a K-Mart store (a retail chain now gone from Canada) in 1988 that sold Amigas and Amiga software in the Electronics Department.
Our local K-Mart carried the A500 until '94 or so, but I think they were trying to clear out old stock. Our store was like the clearance outlet for unsold stock from the other K-Mart stores in Winnipeg.
In school in the 80s, it seemed everyone I knew had an Amiga, C64, or Coco. The IBM kids were the sad lads of the pack.
