[comp.sys.amiga] How well did Ami sell over Xmas?

schwager@m.cs.uiuc.edu (01/05/90)

So, Christmas is past and the merchants are counting their money.  Anyone
have any idea how well Stevie and Co. sold the Amiga?  Have sales met or
exceeded Commodore's wildest imaginations?  Will the Amiga be THE home
computer of the 90's?  Will children badger their parents endlessly to get
the latest, greatest piece of electronic home entertainment hardware?
Finally, will corporations be restricting their purchases only to machines
that are "Amiga-compatible" :-) ????

Well, I don't know how well the hardware sold, but one of the software
business trade rags said, in their listing of the top ten best selling
game packages, that #1 was Shadow of the Beast, available only for the
Atari and the Amiga - and somehow I don't think the Atari was responsible
for the majority of those...
