"Worldwide sales of new pinball machines leaped to an estimated $20 million in 2007 from $500,000 in 1994"
I guess I can believe the 2007 number, but there's no way that 1994 number is right. Even if they just meant Data East and not all companies combined, DE sold 11,000 machines between Tommy, WWF, and GNR alone in 1994.
Cool article. Although they could have given better info on that there are only a handful of pins that are more then new Sterns.
