I think Stern needs to go away from Expo and have a long hard look at themselves. I am a Stern slut but there is no way I would buy from them at the moment. They have had a terrible 18 months from a quality, code and customer service standpoint.
I think the 'barcade' focus speech was ridiculous. It isn't that long ago that Gary Stern was emphasising the importance of the home collector market. Now which is it to be Gary ?
I think Stern also relies much more heavily on the export market than the other manufacturers and sales have been poor over here in Europe with Pro models costing about $8000.
Maybe it is time to ditch the Premium/LE models and concentrate on making good quality, serviceable (NOT buying node boards to repair), well coded games that just work, reliably out of the box ?
I can't vouch for the rest of Europe but here in the UK barcades are practically non existent. I believe there are two.
It cannot be underestimated how important export sales are to Stern and we are just not seeing the games over here.
Quoted from rubberducks:They're very obviously lacking in features, code, and I think many people initially thought the pf and cabinet art for Star Wars was a hoax, when it leaked.
When they're so horrendously expensive, people just don't want them.
Plus, a lot of people were burned with GB problems, so were initially more cautious anyway.They haven't owned 90% of the market in years, now.
How many SW Pro's would have sold in the US @ $8000 ? Practically none. Stern relies more on the export market than any other company.

Quoted from newpinbin:They sell the pro for 5200 to 5100 shipped here. Some are able to still get a nib for 4800 shipped. What does the pro go for there?
A new Stern Pro bought today in the UK would cost $8146. Yes that is for a Pro.
