Quoted from vwallat99:Snoop Dogg being more profitable is a joke. That fanbase isn't going to be the one's shelling out 8k on a pinball machine nor would an operator.
Hardly a joke... LS might do well regionally, but Snoop has sold millions more albums (in a much shorter and more recent time frame). I'm not a fan at all, but 14 top 10 singles is no small feat. While many of his fans might not be the main pinball demographic, reaching outside the norm is what brings new blood into the hobby. Also, there are many fans of that sort of genera have deep pockets and love to buy flashy things to try to impress people. Snoop would also likely be happy to do VOs for it and even advertise for it. Not only would it appeal to his fanbase, but also the pot subculture. Think of all those pot dispensaries where people have time to kill waiting for their turn in the back room with nothing to do. An SD pin would likely do damn well in the waiting room of any of the thousands of dispensaries here in the US for an op. I'd lay odds that SD would crush LS in profitability.
While I'm a Skynyrd fan, it just seems like LS is to narrow of a demographic. Most kids today would say "Which one's Lynyrd?", vandalize it because it had a Confederate flag on it, or just not be interested because they can't relate to the theme. I dunno, but that was my line of thinkin'.
