There were tradeoffs. The C64's were eight pixels wider, and could also be pixel-doubled but the Amiga's were 3-colour without losing resolution and were not limited in height. The biggest limitation was that both systems supported only eight of them.

The AGA chipset supported sprites up to 64 pixels wide, but I dunno if any game took advantage of this.
