Amiga production numbers

[mousehouse]

I'm curious, as are many before me, in the number of Amiga's produced for the different types. After some Google'ing around I find that these numbers are very hard to come by, even after all these years.

I have only been able to find that wikipedia shows a A600 with S/N : 172851, which could mean that there have been at least 172851 of them produced...

Anybody?

Those numbers indeed look like a guess... for one, for the Benelux (where I live) they give 45.000 Amiga's - compared to 1.5M for the UK. Back in the days *everybody* had an Amiga (or ST) and we had at least one good running national magazine, several big gatherings, so 45.000 seems off to me.

I read somewhere that in the best year, they sold more than a million A500's...

Any pointers for more material?

Amiga sales were always a secret at Commodore....or maybe they didn't know themselves, they were that kind of company.

That would not suprise me in any way indeed... In that case we need to setup a serial number database, and try to go from there!
