Read the book. There's a lot of good ideas flying about but only a few hit the mark.  The main reason in my mind is because they rode their platfoms into the ground and stifled the very creativity and R&D that made the Amiga 1000.  Executives then came to think that the C= company was successful because of their leadership.  Always a dangerous thing.

Comes down to one thing...the C64GS, or what they should have done with the C64 more precisely. Had they used the talented MOS Technology engineers to create a portable C64 with an option for a monochrome or colour machine to purchase in shops around 1990 they would be alive and well right now trust me.



No.
