No way the next game isn't MB. It's the only one that makes sense to me. Wide appeal (unlike CC), good ones are expensive (unlike AFM) and monsters are just cool.

Well, AFM makes sense too I guess. No additional licensing fees like MB. Either way we all win, more high quality pins in circulation.

There is nothing to this machine. AFMr only makes sense to me if it is cheaper, something to compete with Stern pro pricing. A new machine that an operator can buy and put on the floor. None of the newer companies seem to be playing in that space.

Quoted from pezpunk:

well, typically, margins are tighter in the commodity segment versus luxury segment of a market. In the commodity segment, you've got to have serious volume to make it profitable. it's probably easier for a startup to compete with Stern at the high end rather than the low end.

Totally agree and understand why most of the start ups are at the higher end of the market. But there is money at the low end too as even pro model pins aren't exactly like selling commodities. Especially when you are the only seller of that particular commodity. Stern has plenty of room in that model for profit. Commodity may not even be the correct analogy since that would indicate lots of competing sellers selling a common product.

An AFMr seems like it could fit the bill on that low end or are least get close to it. I wonder what other lower end pins they could sell down market? MB and CC would def be in the MMr category.
