The Amiga was a fantastic machine it was far too expensive to be anywhere near as mainstream as the NES. If it would have kept the industry going it would have been in a far more niche fashion. $1300 Amiga 1000 (without monitor, $1800 with it) vs $200 NES. The $700 Amiga 500 helped but the NES had also dropped in price by then. Sales figures for the Amiga do not seem entirely reliable but supposedly ~8 million vs ~60 million, and obviously not all of the Amigas were used for games.
