>Do you think it was the factionalism and predominance of the pc faction in
Commodore that led to the Amiga's sorry state?
No, the Amiga problem was the marketing, the PC is a PC and will rest a PC.
The PC is really not the Amiga's problem.
Commodore saw an opportunity to make some money in the PC market. This was
fine however, it should have created a COMPLETELY separate subsidiary to handle
it. Instead, there were often sales/marketing people who were trying to handle
both PC and Amiga lines, and this definitely hurt the Amiga. Also, the PC
market isn't a cakewalk, so dollars for R&D, marketing, etc., were all then
split between PC and Amiga, and this again hurt the Amiga.
While the PC made Commodore money, it hastened the demise of the Amiga, IMHO.
