Just looking at Gottlieb in 1975
It looks like operators just did not like single player Wedgeheads, only 2500 of each title, plus 800 add-a-ball
Two player games did not fare much better
But operators loved 4 player games and bought them in numbers
Quoted from PinballAir:I found that very interesting.
Then a game with a production of say 100 to 150 was not popular with the distributors.
There are likely other factors as well.
For example, if production of one game coincided to closely to another, the second game may not sell as well.
Also, there are probably certain times of year that more games sold over other times of year.
I am going to ask Steve Young next time I place an order and get his take on it.
I am not sure if that happened in the EM era, but in the 90's, that was a problem.
They were trying to sell the WPC95 games, but operators were saying that the older WPC games were still bring in the money, why should they buy new games?
