Yes and no. PCs from beginning was very simple business machines, for accounting, but later benefited from free market and cheap clones.
As for me, VGA was wonder, I now think from marketing considerations, PCs way was to make Super-EGA, with little colors, but high resolution. But, sometimes wonders happen.
Amigas, or to be more exact, Commodore computers, from beginning made as home computers, with decent integrated graphics and sound.
Unfortunately, Amiga parent company was very aggressive against clones, and from what I hear, was not effectively managed (or may be, just tried to made too complex architecture). So after some time, initial superiority was lost, and PCs not just dominated market, but also, once become better technically (because of constant competition on free market).
Approx after 1987-middle 1990s, Amiga become technically lagged behind forever, then parent company bankrupt and now, each year, Amigas become more history artifacts.
