it is not a problem of market, it is a question of business competence. technical acknowledges are not enough to create a company whatever the industry sector. USA and Europe get a quite identical of standard of living so that is not a question of bom cost.
high quality gets a cost but customers are ready to pay extra for quality.
Quoted from HighProtein:Why would at this point any new company try to make games in a foreign country.
narrow market and i guess many money is needed to start.
and there is also 20%-23% TVA here in europe while your US taxes are around 5-10%. i also think that euro currency could be an issue, it depends on the exchange currency rate euro-dollar
anyway, i always said it was stupid that DP didn't sell to EU market.
Quoted from Chalkey:Anything is possible as long as people are willing to pay upwards 8K for a NIB.
I don’t think so. 8k is just now a standard selling price, whatever bom cost, all kind of charges.
Stern and jjp were exploring the limits of what a customer was willing to pay for a new pinball machine.
All could be built and engineered in Bangladesh that the selling price would be still 8k
