Quoted from PW79:I don’t think Star Wars is selling that great tho.
188 Pinsiders own Aerosmith Pro.
122 Pinsiders own Star Wars Pro.
Maybe ops are the ones buying the game? I guess so. But Stern says home buyers are like half their market share now.
How can the best theme of all time, Star Wars, a theme that sells napkins & plastic cups for top dollar, sell less pinball machines than a total B- theme like Aerosmith?
How the fuck did Stern not sell me of all people a Stern Star Wars pinball machine? I’m like their exact demographic for such a title. I’m an idiot with a game room that buys NIB pins & yells like Chewie when the mood is right.
Folks say Pinside is a tiny sliver of pinball but I think it’s far more *and* I think Pinside mirrors the core pinball buyers that aren’t vocal on here (or listing their collections). Folks don’t casually buy a dozen $7K games on a whim. They’re here lurking! Didn’t Stern say the GB PF issues cost them sales?
Just a reminder. I don’t claim to know the sales numbers & I am 100% a Stern fan. But sorry, GOTG has shit implementation of theme & Star Wars disappointed many with its lack of interactive anything.
Am I a bad person for this opinion of mine?
I think both AS and SW have been selling pretty well but GOTG seems to be underperforming to date.
