Quoted from Pinballer67:If Stern doesn't address this, I think we may witness a gradual slide/erosion of Stern home use owners into the growing army of pinheads awaiting what the “boutique” manufacturers (JJP/Spooky/American/etc) offer…leaving Stern to continue dominance of barcades etc. But not the Home.
I don't think this is correct. I think stern will continue to sell more games to homes annually than all the other mfgs combined.
They are killing it.
I think sometimes people bucket the entire home market as one entity, when it's actually a broad spectrum of consumers with different buying choices and especially different buying power.
There are a considerable number of people who buy $8000 games for their home the same way I'd buy a $60 ps4 game.
