if you were trying to rebuild a market then your best approach - 'the only game in town' - would still be theSAM/X1000 approach
even though x1k may be a cool concept as such, the reality has proven that sam440/460 (to which system it is closest in comarison) did not help to rebuild a market. in fact they only adressed and been accepted by a fraction of original scene. you cannot rebuild a market trying to be even more elite. you can only hope to sustain the interest of already addicted. this both applies as well to x1k as to natami, minimig or fpga arcade.
@-Sam- @Clebin Guys, on the mainstream subject, let's be clear: the type of guy I mentioned in a previous post (the non-hardcore that only buy what's cool at the moment) it's unsatisfiable. For that kind of crowd there will be no CUSA/no anything unless it come close to the software support Apple gets. Some will even think Apple doesn'tget as much love as Windows7 (think of ultra advanced 3D games). All I wanted to say is that, since Amiga used to be "what's cool" in 1989, people from that era and that now only cares for iPad2 and look forward to PS4, are not to be considered as potential customers no matter if we create a linux box camoufaged as Amiga and sell it for peanuts. You need billions upon billions to attract that kind of guy, pay for the best software/games to come and pay for national television ads.
