It's one of those topics that's been discussed to death, but this article seems a bit more balanced. Ultimately, Commodore killed Commodore.

Still, I don't think it'd be as fondly remembered if they ended up like Microsoft or Apple.

@Twig Undoubtedly. As you said, there was basically no way for bespoke hardware manufacturers to compete with the economies of scale that generic PC architecture allowed. The same was even true for the console manufacturers ultimately. PS3/Xbox360 was the last generation where console hardware was anything other than a PC in a fancy box.
