I have to disagree here, the cause of death for Amiga was in my opinion the PC with which Amiga could not compete performance-wise due to sticking with the Motorola 680x0 cpu's.
The Amiga's bitplane based graphics didn't help either as it was slow even with the dedicated blitter and when the PC got VGA mode x 'one byte per pixel' 256 color planar modes the jig was up in terms of the Amiga being able to keep up in terms of game graphics.

- gillianseed 12y agoAnd we are talking (atleast I was) about the cause of why the Amiga died, are we talking past eachother ?
