@Tigger

You have to take into account the following:
1. There was no steady production of any of the AmigaOne models, and as soon as OS4 was mature enough to be really attractive to the masses, AmigaOne hardware was very difficult to get hold of. While people were waiting for uA1's to become available the XE was no longer available apart from a few remote shops who sold them way above the normal price. When uA1's were finally produced, only a very small quantity was produced for each batch and each batch sold out really fast. Only a lucky few in my country managed to get one. Had there been a steady production of boards, sales would have been considerably higher.

2. Many people didn't consider the AmigaOne because they couldn't afford it. The Pegasos and MacMini would have been cheaper alternatives.

3. Many people didn't consider the AmigaOne because they wanted more powerful and expandable hardware.

Had there been plenty of hardware available at more competitive pricing, in my opinion OS4 sales would easily exceed 20k units by now and that's plenty enough to pay the developers and start making profit.
