well i bought my first computer about 1995, when second hand Amiga's were plentiful because Commodore just went broke and games were even more plentiful and cost even less, sometimes nothing. PC's were about $3,000. My A500, 1084s, two floppy drives plus a gazillion games=$400.
But I remember the A4000 with 25 mhz 68040 6 meg ram and 120 hard drive was about $4000 at the time.(The model number corresponded to the retail price in Australia, yes the A3000 was $3000, and the A2000, $2000) Add a graphics card would add $1200+ to that. Accelerators like the 68040 warp engine $1700. The cyberstorm 68060 was about $2500. 32 meg ram $1300. Says so here in one of my ACAR mags (MVB computers). Even the salesman at MVB said this was ridiculous pricing.
So I suspect the amiga "console"machines were better priced than the PC, but if you want an Amiga to compete graphically and CPU power wise with a PC, I'd say that Amiga was double the cost of a similar-specced PC. But that had Win 95- which might have been seen as a negative or positive.
