| Jan 19, 2020 at 18:06 | comment | added | Brian H | I get your point that higher margins need to be carved out from expenses too. I just think that Commodore product engineering and consumer value were always quite good, but the company management was quite poor. | |

Commodore was indeed not making enough profit from each Amiga - which was because they didn't have the marketing position to sell for a higher price, but equally because each one cost them too much to make. Profit is revenue minus cost. | |

| Jan 19, 2020 at 16:34 | comment | added | Brian H | You should take to heart the answer most people are down-voting below...Commodore failed because they couldn't make sufficient profits from each Amiga, not because Amigas were too expensive. Same downfall as any company that thinks they can "make it up on volume". | |
