Quoted from chocky909:I just don't see the point when I can recreate that perfectly using a monitor and proper arcade controller.
You are missing the point chocky...
Having a dedicated standing cabinet or even a Vewlix for that matter, is just soooo much better than sitting on the couch in front of a huge T.V., in utter comfort. I know it sounds weird, but I prefer to play shoulder to shoulder with my fellow human being on a dedicated semi-cramped arcade cab.
It is what I grew up with, what I know. Call me old-fashioned, but you really think twice about trash-talking on a stranger with such a close proximity! 
That is why I love pinball... It is a very physical experience, machines are heavy, body english is a must to get the machine to do your bidding. Taking away any part of that formula, is sacrilege...
Pin2K walked a fine line with it's smaller design; thankfully the inventiveness of the interactive play kept it afloat. I think JJP will be able to blend the "new and the old" pinball ideal into the next decade and hopefully bring something that even the hardcore crowd will say "Daaaamn, that is just awesome! How did we ever live without _____?!?"
