Commodore PC64 could sell 10 000+ units easily per markets like UK, USA and Germany alone. That's just PC64...

Where do you take the confidence from that people will jump up and rush to get a plain x86 box with a Commodore label sticked on it?
I guess the machine will be more expensive with Commodore sticker on it than without (finally Commodore want to have a margin).
What would be the advantage for me as customer to buy an expensive Commodore-labeled box, if I could have the same machine without the Commodore sticker for less money?
Not to mention the fact that I prefer big box towers because of their expandability over all-in-one keyboard toys anytime...

IMO they have more to offeer than Commodore and AInc together - but this is just my opinion...

This is exactly what I meant - why should I buy an x86 box when I cannot run AmigaOS on it?
I already have an x86 XP-PC anyway...

Nope.
It was renegated by the AmigaOS devs (Rogue, IIRC).

that is, it would be much cheaper and faster for Commodore to hire some devs to work on that.

Wouldn't it make more economic sense if they abstained from having an own dev team and would outsource the development to AmigaDev India?

And frankly, based on their previous record, I would want to stay away from hyperion as far as I can.

At least they already prooved that they are able to actually develop and market products. Commodore still has to do that...
