I may be able to offer a different perspective here as someone who'd never seen an Amiga in person until 2007.  Just call me part of the unwashed masses.  I recall 1992-1993 vividly, it was my first year of high school and I started shopping for a machine to replace my Apple IIe, which served me well during the last years of grammar school for printing reports, after my C64s died.  Back in '93, Amiga wasn't on the radar of myself or anyone else that I knew in good old NJ, USA, it was a faint memory from the 80s having seen screen shots on C64 game boxes.  In '93, I saw Windows 3.1 and Wolfenstein, and those were must haves! I didn't get my Windows 3.1 machine then, but I did get an 8088 as it seemed IBM compatibles were the way to go, and I played with DOS and burned up the phone lines with 300 and 2400 baud modems until I got a 486 at some point in 1994.

So basically, I would've had to have offered the '060 based Amiga with PC compatibility as standard, and pushed that point in advertising.
