Oh, bull.  How do they know that?  I think the reason they didn't sell that
many Amiga SimCities was because 1) they didn't advertise it very well,
2) they didn't distribute it all that well at first, and 3) it wasn't a
particularly good port - and in the beginning, at least, it was NOT HD
installable, AND required 1M.
