USA Amiga advertising was cringe-worthy. Truly bad. The initial 1000 launch was fine, but the US 500 era advertising was mostly risible and simply gave away millions of sales to Atari. Newtek and EA probably made more Amiga sales than C= US.
They moved Pleasance to Commodore International to try and repeat UK success in USA. It is only then in 1991 or thereabouts that they started making deals with big retailers like Sears, Walmart etc. Someone should have been doing that in 86.
The successful packs - The Disney box, the Batman pack were all C= UK (Pleasance) created. Germany was doing very well creatively too. C= Intl was worth keeping for engineering, not whoever in West Chester was marketing.
