Honestly Vid's predictions are not that far out. Stern is producing 2 or 3 games a year so they don't lose market share from these smaller companies. This saturates the market. Stern doesn't innovate because it's costly and risky and they need to produce a bunch of games. In order for another company to make it financially they have to cut into Stern's market share. These companies innovate but they are unable to create 2 or 3 games a year, so they will fold. Right now everyone's pinball greed is really high(thus the high prices of every game, project and in-between) but what happens when it's not? Boom.
