As someone already pointed out, it is UAE that allows us to run most old Amiga games on OS4. Without UAE we couldn't. And UAE wouldn't exist on OS4 unless it had existed for other platforms since a long time ago.
As such OS4 emulates only the 68k CPU, which is fine for new programs and will run them nice and fast, but most games simpl y won't work. It does not emulate custom chips at all.
Another thing is that some people wont see the point in getting new hardware if trhe migration process is going to take years and years, or just never happen.
Look at Apple.. OS X came out in 2000. 4 years later,they have a more or less viable OS X native software library.
Think about this for OS 4 however.. its going to take YEARS before there is a decent amount of OS4 native software available, if it happens at all.
If this is the case, and 90% of the apps you run are going to be emulated because their "Classic" apps, then there wont be much point in OS 4 at all, or the overpriced under-specced AmigaOne.
