In 1987, the Amiga 2000 which had a 68000, ocs chipset with 640x480x16 colors which was quite slow was competing with the Mac 2 which came with a 68020, could be expanded to 21mb ram and came with a gfx card capable of 256col/16bit palette and 512x384 and 640x480.
This isn't even comparable. By 1987 in terms of graphics and CPU power there was already something much better than the Amiga. Of course, it was twice the price of the a2000 but you get something much better for serious work.
The 68020 was quickly replaced with a 68030+68882. And in 1989 the IICi was released with onboard video. Memory could be extended to 128mo ram with onboard Sim slots. You could drive three simultaneous monitors with 3 graphic cards.
In 1990 the Amiga 3000 came with basically the same graphics capabilities: 16 colors max in high resolutions, 12bit palette (that's 5 years after the a1000), and a 68030+68882 and ability to expand memory to up to 16mb.
The Amiga also sold only a few millions of units in its entire lifetime, most of which were simple A500 with no harddrive.
And then Photoshop was released..
So: why do you think Adobe didn't bother making an Amiga version of Photoshop?
