You can't because it's not true.
The PC industry is no longer a basement operation. The people making PCs today have been doing it for years and are damned good at it. I sure wouldn't buy a mobo made by the hundreds at some Pennsylvania PCB manufacturer that specializes in building sonic insect repellers, when I can get a good mobo from the experts at Abit or Asus.
The problem is, the console video games market is even tougher than the OS market! From the past history one could make an argument that there isn't enough room for more than two console producers at any given time.
Hell, Nintendo lost out to Sony. Who saw that coming?
Consoles are also very raw machines that have little OS backing and lots of graphics tools. If you can pony up half a billion to make a new custom chipset, be my guest.
Software is the only market with unlimited potential.
we haven't many games on the amiga as it is.
The Amiga can't offer a base for making games that would be any better than the slew of Flash and Java apps available on the PC already. 3D drivers cost a fortune to develop, so robust support for 3D, the staple of modern gaming, would have to wait until later. Unless, of course, you can get some companies to pitch in a few million bucks without actually releasing an OS with decent potential, first.
Let's face it, Amiga Inc. isn't exactly an expert at gathering capital. I don't think they've even heard of the term, "proof of concept."
I've believed for years that the Amiga is dead. I'd like very much for someone to make a severely modified version of Linux (or something) that just looked like Amiga at the filesystem level (no rediculous "bin" and "etc" directories, and so on...)
Whatever happens, no next-generation OS is going anywhere without a complete security model. All existing computers expect the applications to handle security themselves, and the OS only covers its own butt with the root account. I don't like my web browser having full access to my user account, and trying to "enhance my browsing experience" by running plug-ins right off the Internet. Sooner or later, Linux will have the same plug-in security nightmares as Windows. Just you watch.
