  1. I think its because it used the z80 and the z80 didn't evolve much past the 8 bit era so if they wanted to make more powerful msx systems in the 90s they had to move to a different architecture like intel .but that would make it not backwards compatible and you couldn't release a totally new platform anymore after 1987. because it wouldn't get enough 3rd party support. maybe if it used the intel 8088 they could have kept it going with more modern versions but the intel 8088 seemed like a bad choice back then since it was more expensive.
