However, most.... that is to say MOST pc users only use this kind of spec for playing games. They would probably be better off with a games console


No, they would not..

What console has the following popular PC games?

World of Warcraft
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Supreme Commander
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Civilization IV

Gamers choose PC, and Mac, because certain types of games work a lot better on computers than on consoles.

MODERN Amiga for the other stuff ....


As long as the modern Amiga lacks modern applications such as MS Office, Internet Explorer, Photoshop and Firefox the Amiga isn't an alternative for most people.

Why bother with a small and obscure platform, like the "modern" Amiga, when you can have a PC that will run all of the programs mentioned above for the same price?

Your point is a cyclic one and not constructive at all, following your logic we don't need new hardware due to lack of software and we can't have the software due to lack of hardware.


It doesn't matter if it's a cyclic argument. It is still a valid argument.

And I was replying to that. Amiga isn't a viable option for more than 99% of PC users because Amiga lacks the applications that most people use.
