Commenting on its disconcertingly bad figures (see page five), Commodore International Ltd says that the sales decline of almost 40% for the latest quarter was primarily down to prevailing economic softness in all of the company’s major markets, especially Germany, adding that significant pricing erosion for the older Amiga models and personal computer products didn’t help: unit volume of Amiga products declined 25% and MS-DOS personal computer revenues increased only slightly despite a 30% increase in unit volume, the company added; it reckons that its brand name and distribution network still have value and it continues efforts to restructure the company to take advantage of these values during this period of severe difficulty.
