I think this is hyperbole. People buy new systems to play new games, not to play old games. If the new system also plays old games, that is a plus. If the system has no new games but can play old...

I was running OS/2 Warp 3 as my main in 1997.

My office suite was Lotus Smartsuite for OS/2 though, not MS Office.

I would say OS/2 was more common that MacOS in 1997, actually.

SB 2.0 was $129 in 1992 and became exponentially cheaper to the point of costing peanuts within a few years as clones came. And it was arguably superior to Paula in some ways.

Exactly. And that is why the A1200 had to match a 286/16 with a hard drive and an SVGA card to stay relevant. I have no more to add to the discussion at this point so I'll rest my case here..

Not with AGA in it, no. The A1200 could not possibly compete with a 286/16 equipped with even a low end 256KB SVGA Card. Once you went 640x480x256 there was no going back. As for sound, by 1992...
