I agree, wish they'd just stuck with 060's (eventually got them up to a reliable 100Mhz) with tons of RAM and fast on-board SCSI. Couple that kind of CPU card with a decent 3D PC graphics card and you'd have had a very respectable system for most of the 90's.
There were no decent 3d graphics cards until the mid 90's, by the time they came then even a 100mhz 68060 was woefully inadequate.
The time when Amiga lost traction was the beginning of the 90's. When the a500 plus came out the market was in decline and the 3d consoles were coming.
The playstation didn't have a very fast processor, but it had a 3d maths coprocessor and a texture mapping gpu, the motion jpec decoder was slightly less important but it added a bit of bling to the games. Sony won the games market in the mid 90's with cheap custom hardware & it was more successful than the Amiga ever was. If commodore had vision then they would have made something similar.
In 1991 an amiga based on 68000 + paula + CD + 3d maths coprocessor + texture mapper would have saved them from bankruptcy. Instead they just milked the amiga for a couple more years where they came out with AGA, which was an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade. It was better than what we had before & I still used an A1200 in 2001 when XP came out & I finally jumped ship. They would have needed to switch to another processor in the mid 90's, but with the money they made they could have funded that.
However, with all the what if's, even Jack Tramiel didn't get it right. The jaguar wasn't good enough when it came out and either needed to be better or come out a couple of years earlier. If the jaguar had supported TOS and come with a CD player in 1991 then Atari would have survived until the next round.
