Amiga wants you! : Comment 82 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by smp266 on 16-Jul-2003 07:39 GMT | I can only think of a war analogy: The Amiga lived, but many credit cards gave up their lives.
At that time it seemed like the right thing to do. Amiga was still a great platform. I think the US$2000 A4000 25mhz 040 was the biggest joke in history vs the $1100 Pentium 100 (or whatever). I think poor distribution may have been to blame on the retail price. The retailers have no one but themselves to blame for sinking Amiga. (Not that it would have changed anything under G2k).
Look at the approach by consoles: Sell em cheap and get the money back on software and (non-essential) upgrades.
JUST SELL THE B***** THINGS! |
