Balzer) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Re: Amiga/Atari St sales figure Message-ID: <8811171333.AA07749@decwrl.dec.com> Date: 17 Nov 88 13:33:31 GMT Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 21 The worldwide Amiga sales should reach one million by the end of '88. The sales in Germany are around 200000 currently and should reach 300000 easily by xmas. The Amiga is at least selling better in Germany than any other 68xxx based system, although the Atari ST line is doing much here better than in the U.S. Dunno about total ST figures, but my guestimate would be about the same as the Amy. As far as I know and see it, the "defeat" of the ST line in Germany didn't happen and probably never will. There are simply to many ST's sold here, more of them are doing "real" work than Amigas, and they're cheaper than an Amy. And some people will ALWAYS go for the lower price tag instead of superior functionalitiy. - -- _ _ / / | \ \ aka Christian Balzer - The Software Brewery - < < |-< > decwrl!frambo.dec.com!schabacker OR schabacker@frambo.dec.com \ \_ |_/ / CIS: 71001,210 (be brief!), Phone: +49 6150 4151 ------------ Snail: Im Wingertsberg 45, D-6108 Weiterstadt, F.R.G.
