I would agree in large degree to what Charles said in replying to you, however, in his "Step 1" I would go a bit further in marketing the CD32: The "media blitz" against Sega and Nintendo is a given, in that there are perhaps ten times as many "games consoles" as there are "personal computers" (under any label) in the "consumer electronics" market; now imagine that Samsung or whoever buys the Amiga and does this saturation marketing, and by miracle of faith the Amiga CD32 lands about a third of the console sales for Christmas '94, which means it will have outstripped PC sales by a factor of three. Now, _after_ Christmas, we just might see a _new_ series of ads for Amiga-sama <g>, which would say, "You know that great games console you just bought? Well, it _also_ makes a pretty-neat personal computer…." If in fact Nintendo had marketed an "expansion interface" for the Super NES (or Sega for the Genesis), then in fact nobody _outside_ of the direct "business software" market would have ever heard of MicroSoft.
