It's not the question wether the 128 sold, but wether it made sense as a project.
That's entirely subjective and you are entitled to that opinion. I'm just trying to make the objective point that unlike C='s true failures, which there were many, C128 was not one of them. They saw a market opportunity, a niche to fill, and it worked for this model.
The problem was IMO not the 128 as such.
But the wrong decisions of the managers in charge at Commodore.
The number of projects were just too many and many were not dropped in favour of Amiga (i.e. the 8 bitters) which resulted in Amiga advanced and developed much too slow against the PC and Apple competition.
