Why did commodore went under?

[lsmart]

I think Commodores problem was that upper management really believed that they were better off selling PC-hardware developed by other companies under the powerful Commodore brand. They didn`t undestand that it was the technology what made Commodore successful.

The A600, 264 and CDTV where great, but they didn`t get the money and attention to bring them to the market fast, complete and with the right advertizing and software, because the money was wasted elsewhere.

 The 90's were converging on the PC. [...]
But as I said, even though Commodore management was thoroughly incompetent it made no difference, there was no winning move.

I am not so sure about that. It`s hard to say what would have happened, if Commodore never sold PCs and had a 3D capable Amiga 1200 ready in 1992.

It`s hard to say what would have happened, if Commodore took the other route and abandoned Amiga in favor of x86 in 1988 and introduced a Commodore PC that was capable of running Workbench on MS-DOS and had a good video- and sound interface before Windows, SVGA and Soundblaster 16 would conquer the market.
