I'm surprised to not hear more about the importance of the office/business factor, PC managed to get a foothold in this area which I believe gave it massive breathing space to slowly build on it's success as a more flexible machine in the long term, to me the Amiga never felt like it got that strong foothold, fingers in too many pies maybe? The PC model was dull and boring in comparison but it seemed they either lucked out or had a better long term strategy. Combine all this with poor management and you have the titanic in waiting.
