Quoted from rubberducks:

Had the theme been a little more polished, the launch better orchestrated, and the price designed to really hit Stern where it hurts, this could have easily been a 5000-6000 units before the end of 2017 machine.
...
If they'd gone after $6995 / $7800 / $8500 I'm sure it would have been the first 10,000 seller since the 90s, and got there pretty damn quickly.

Yes, this! My biggest disappointment is that I wanted to see Jack knock it out of the park for a grand slam and I think we all saw the fastball straight down the middle but we got a line drive instead. Solid hit, but could have been (I suppose still could be) something that redefines the market.

Quoted from solarvalue:

Check out Pinball Magazines great interview, it explains a lot about the decisions made when designing this game:
http://www.pinball-magazine.com/?p=3133

Interesting article. I found it interesting that Pat's justification for current pin pricing was the idea that the game would bring in 500 per week and an operators invested would be paid off after only 20 weeks... um... wrong.

Ops split the take... so after 20 weeks your only halfway paid off and now your into the downward side if earnings. I think at the current price point 1.5 - 2 years is more realistic. Thats of course not counting resale which maybe he is? Or they are cutting the ops out and saying locations should directly buy.
