So often people forget about the past and for example repeat the same old mistakes as made by ST fans during the 80s. Yes, the Amiga was more complex due to being much more advanced at the time (a very advanced multi-processing design). But as the PS3 has great 1st party support I think the PC platform hurts the most from the 360 (many top Microsoft games like Halo 3, Fable 2 and Gears 2 not appearing on PC, hugely sacrificed game design compared to what the PC is really capable of like fewer online multi-player abilities in a game like Modern Warfare 2).
One thing limiting the Amiga 500 technically the most was the lack of storage, compare for instance a top title like Defender of the Crown on the Amiga 500 on diskette vs Defender of the Crown 2 on CD running on A500 level hardware (much better graphics and audio).
Once the ST started to die, most developers really Amiga started to show off the technology. I think likely this will happen again when the PS3 moves past the 360's install base.
