I would agree with that. ?When it was only the IBM
5150 and 5160 on
the market, they had a presence and commanded a certain amount of
attention in the trade press, but the sales numbers were low. ?It was
a while (years, ISTR) before the dollar amount of 5150s sold exceeded
the dollar amount of C-64s sold, and it took a bit longer before the
total number of PC clones sold exceeded the total number of C-64s
sold.
Keep in mind that IBM made a good bundle of money supporting the PC
line. And the PS/2 line.
