Basically C= 'milked' their machines for too long instead of developing something that was way ahead. When their 'cashcow' C64 went down the years of relying upon its sales and not pushing Amiga advertisements and development made it hard for the company to get something viable. I'd say the A500+ marked a turning point. It was a half-hearted try to improve on the 4 year old A500 which totally failed. The A600 and A1200 did some things right, but on the other hand offered too little improvements compared to the PCs at the times. Basically like Leffmann said C= and its management are to blame that they manoeuvred themselves into a deadend situation way before 1994.
