Quoted from Rarehero:You overestimate the importance of Pinside or internet pinball forums in general. Most people into pinball don't post or don't even read pinball sites.
No way. 5% if that.
Normally I would agree with you Rare Hero, but statistically you can prove that Pinside is way bigger than 5%. See Tron LE and X-Men LE, pinsiders own 40% of all them made, and that's not even counting the lurkers and people who don't fill out their profile (which is a lot of people). So the real number is probably over 50% for some of the LE's. If you look at like AFM, pinside owns 14% of all the AFM's ever made. I think on RGP it was less than 5% for sure, but pinside has taken it to a whole other level.
