no need to wondee. The Amiga was a console like computer used mainly for games back in the days and it was completely open and cracked games were everywhere. It sold very well.

It sold ca. 5m. Which was a lot for a non-PC platform at that point, but not enough to prevent Commodore from going bankrupts (admittedly in part thanks to a lot of mismanagement). And while the low end Amigas were used largely for gaming, many were not and the high end models certainly not.

I love Amigas, but they're not exactly a stellar endorsement of that model.
