I going to go for a more realistic approach of what could off happened/been done.
 Sell the entire State side of the business, no Commodore USA/International, make the German Commodore HQ and maybe keep the UK HQ as well as during the closure of Commodore these two areas of Commodore where making a profit and they had quite a market still in Gemany and the Uk, both in the PC and Amiga business, so make the company more European focus and concentrate    on marketing the machine there, still sell to the USA but only what's popular, first make the CD-rom add on for A1200, with complete Cd32 support,continue to market and sell cd32 as along as profitable, but get out of the games console market  as soon as it not.     introduce a Walker type product by 1995, same specs really, (68030, FPU, 2mb chip, 4mb Fast, AGA chip set, Cd-Rom, 250mb HD, Disk Drive, CPU / Zorro / PCI Slots) maybe to offer a lowest possible cost entry to Amiga do a version with out a Hard drive try and aim for that magic £399.99 price point,  maybe approach ID to make Doom and Myth port to launch with the walker to prove it can do game like that (I think this would help convince people that Amiga could still do game, game market/home market was bigger in Europe for Amiga remember) also give developers of say Wordworth and their office sweep some money to ensure Windows office formats are supported and make a big deal about it is compatible, also start to sell just motherboards of the Amiga products so users and companies could develop their own Amiga. Maybe the A5000 could be the same board as the Walker with just a high end 040 or 060  added and 8gb+ fast mem to it,  Maybe as well continue to try and make a low cost A1200 machine as possible and start marketing that in the Asian and Chinese markets might have been some big money in that. While all thats going on develop a real next gen Amiga, say similar to what the Amiga MCC was going to be and carry on to rule the world!
