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.


The units didnt sell out really fast at all, I went to shows, and there boards available there, when the shows closed up, still boards available.

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


Hyperion wasnt interested in porting to either, several of us tried for either one of those, I guaranteed a 1000 units sold for the Mini port, or I would buy the delta, Hyperion was not interested!!!!

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


Yes, and Hyperion wasnt interested in porting to either of the the pieces of hardware you are pitching, thats the problem, thats always been the problem.

Quote:

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.


I dont know what you are smoking, but 20K units never would have happened, the OS developed too slow, and the rest of the market got too fast. Selling 20K units for OS4 on a Pegaos or locked in Mac Mini, is almost as silly statement as OS 4 is great for embedded work.
