I still reckon the X8 could be a really cool devices if the video memory access mechanism could be modified to work just like the X16's will for code consistency, then functionally its just a cut down Memory + sound hardware version of the X16, but otherwise identical in operation. I think that's s...

The uncertainty of eventual sale quantities of the x16 (and given that each stage needs to be successful to fund development the next, more affordable/mass appeal version) is the main reason that launching the x8 as an interim release makes such good sense to me - its practically no economic risk t...

Back in the 8 bit era, I'd have kiboshed any attempt (c16, plus4, c128) at diluting the market for, or generating pointless internal competition to the C64 line, instead focussing on miniaturisation / optimisation of the chipset to reduce costs to keep it a profitable super budget line.
