Given that outside of the Switch the consoles are x86 AMD made socs, even consoles have bowed to the PC. In hindsight i feel the Amiga's custom chips was actual an Achilles heel. Yes it allowed each model to sprint out of the gate, but it also limited how far the user could upgrade them. In contrast the only thing on the motherboard of a PC of the era (once we hit the 386 and later) was the CPU and RAM. Everything else lived on replaceable boards hooked to a bus. And as the Pentium era showed, even the bus could be "replaced" by placing a new one (PCI) side by side with the old one (ISA). All this allowed a continuation of sorts, where a humble DOS box could live on into the Win9x era in some way or other.
