Just found an interesting video on youtube showing Commodore sales from 77-96, he admits some is guesswork and he's apparently going to create an updated video..It's an interesting video nontheless.

If I were the ultimate cynic, then I would assume these are just USA sales, and I know the Amiga did shittily there. But I'm of the opinion that these are worldwide sales figures?

It's a shame that Commodore's most superior machine, in terms of hardware capability, should come a miserable third compared to a budget toy machine that only happened to be marketed spectacularly well.

The Amiga was sold as a computer. The machines doing the highest sales were sold as toys (C64, Atari 2600, etc).

Strangest of these numbers is 5.7 mil for the C128? Seems way too high.
