I would also argue that the 500 wasn't game machine enough. It should have been sold with controllers, and a cartridge slot. A home computer addition that added a keyboard and disk drive, could have been bought as a bundle or add-on. If they had done that I think they could have hung in to be a player in the Nintendo age.
On the high-end the 2000 was also not enough, again they were hedging too much trying to keep costs down. They should have pumped up the specs and doubled the price. Instead of Sun Workstations in their offices they should have been using Amiga workstations.
