A1200 entered the US market with $599 in Q4 1992 which is equivalent to $485.05 in 1987. Commodore went "Jack Tramiel" on its core customers.

And your point is? What are you trying to prove with those numbers?
Inflation rate? Gould greed?

So many things can go wrong between out of the box and using product "mostly" out of the box... - out-of-the-box experience is not "mostly" out-of-the-box experience

I already posted an article on this issue.

You constantly posting useless random information that's unrelated to the topic, worse, frequently it is not related to Amiga at all...

VGA has hardware functions for 2D games. For this example, PC hardware has an 8086 CPU and OAK OTI VGA clone.
VGA is more than Atari ST's graphic chipset solution.

So true, especially nowadays when no one use HW graphic acceleration and everything is made on fast CPU...

There's very little chance that the Amiga OCS's 2D game library will survive against SNES's strong +128 to 256 colors 2D game library while AGA's install base is small
The gaming PC's texture-mapped 2.5D/3D gaming dodged the SNES's strong 2D gaming steamroller.

And graphic accelerators dodged CPU driven graphics... nowadays new generation of graphic accelerators are on market in approx 2 year period - this means that Amiga was severely delayed - WE ALL saying this from many years... Hope even you can understand this.
