In regards to industry, JJP prices their titles so they stay in business and avoid the their mistakes of the past. The choices made for themes (not necessarily licenses), integration, and production numbers will determine the final outcome. Many people are waiting for the "next JJP title" today, as the rocket hit has not been achieved by the widest audience for any game since 2013.

The continued macro decrease in overall NIB sales (by all manufacturers) for home use over comparative increase in used game sales will not help based on the present economy changes.

People have a tendency to skew costs of used games based on the recent trends previous to 2017, which is not accurate based on general devaluation over time. Most new pinball machines will lose an average of $2500-3000, in the first 5 years of lifecycle starting from initial distributor sale as a norm, with the exception of a handful of titles. Only now some have come to this understanding.

Keep flipping.

I am not comparing NIB sales today as to the past, as the market as shifted dramatically and is uneven for comparison. The largest shift is occuring with increases of used games in comparison to new due the present pricing thresholds that have been applied, as discussed in this thread. Additionally, people that previously might have been able to buy two NIB games as repeat buyers are often only buying one, purely out of price reasons, including many operators. The offset that cannot be calculated yet is how large the influx of new private buyers will continue and how long based on the present "pinball revival". I can only judge this aspect from my own regional area, not the entire world, which for now has been maintained.
