But you can't write letters on it – it doesn't have a keyboard. The game console seems like a 1200 with a CD and without a keyboard. Could be a winner, but it depends on two things: 1) exciting titles, and 2) good marketing. It's possible that both could happen. In Europe, Commodore did an excellent job of making the A500 a success, so they could do it again. I doubt the marketing will be strong in the U.S., not because of "ability" but because it's simply too expensive given C='s financial situation. Also, there's no point in doing that kind of marketing unless the distribution is "psyched" to go.
