Amiga pricing wasn't that kind either.
Although you're right about Commodore marketing, it really sucked.
Im not so sure. Commodore was successful in implying that amiga is something special, something for "creative minds". The release involving an appointment of andrzej warhola and deborah harry speaks lenths about it i think. Till today amiga users, or people who consider themselves to be that, think of them as being something special. Id call it deep implied indoctrination contrary to some shortsighted propaganda. It has even survived decades after the decline of the company.
