I purchased my first C64 AFTER buying my first (real) compatible. Many an honors student would have loved to get their hands on a "game" computer in the 80s. I don't recall too many people that even had one. Most of us who had jobs bought one after hs. Admittedly something more capable. But I doubt 30,000,000 C64s would have sold if it was a boring brick.
