What do we need?
By the way, I realized that this is not a problem, but more of amiga’s future wish list.
PPC is undoubtedly gone, although I know that the Amiga scene is a baseless aversion to anything based on x86, but ARM may save it and can replace the Amiga scene. The ARM market for mobile and embedded devices dominates Their status cannot be argued with. Their future in the desktop/server market is likely to depend on energy efficiency issues, the development of Internet technology and the decreasing importance of desktop applications.
Then, to answer your question, What do we need? We need to inspire the old and new interests of developers and bring the platform into focus. Personally, the only thing that really inspires people is the open source Amiga OS 4 to x86 port. Anything else that beats around the jungle. No, in the long run , Hardware-based platforms will not succeed, most Amigans are now pushing 30-40 years old (age), so it is worth remembering that we have not become younger! In another decade, most young college computer science graduates will want to know the fuss of the operating system, because they are just trying to run their HTML5 applications in Chrome or Firefox, rather than going deeper than Javascript or C#…wait a minute Are we there already?
If Hyperion releases amiga to another platform, today, will it do well? I am happy to develop for the amiga platform. I really miss it.

Difficult problem , What the Amiga scene needs is more and more critical mass. Enough developers are interested in the platform to continue to provide code and programs/applications, that is, enough commodities to make it feasible. Interesting looking at MorphOS, How did this platform emerge. Ported the operating system to many types of old PPC Apple hardware and tried to reduce the cost of buying the platform.
