That cant be true .Besides ,this seems only USA data .In Europe first the 8 bit computers and then the Atari St and specially the Commodore Amiga were huge for many years .As home computers way more established that the PC of the era that were very weak for games and graphics .
Commodore and Atari mistake in computers was to wait too much until releasing the subsitutes of the St and the Amiga .Models as the STE and the Amiga 2000 werent too much an improvement and the actual chipset was the same .In 1991 it was clear the PC had reached the graphical power of the Amiga and with its hard drives etc it was turning into a better plattform .When finally Commodore and Atari reacted and launched the Amiga 1200 and the Falcon 030 with their 32 bits CPUs ,real colour palette ,hard drives etc it was too late the PC had become too big and the situation couldnt reverse easily .Plus ,thas was the time of the tecnhology race in the PC realm ....386,486,486DX2,Pentium,PentiumII ...in a few years the PC was light years ahead of were it was before .If Commodore wanted to keep the compute market it should have released the 1200 before and specially stick to the PC philosophy providing upgrades for the CPU and GPU ,hard drive and sound card much faster than with the old model of business .
