Here's my educated guesses. And WOF isn't even in the running compared to most of these.

Lowest is very likely between CSI and NBA. 24 was a much better game than either and for that reason alone had to be higher. I have NFI about BBH, and that's despite working at Play Mechanix at the time. My guess is that did kinda well in the northern midwest. BBH COULD be above WOF even, which was just under 1000 if I had to guess.

I would guess 24 in the 800ish range and CSI and NBA 500 or lower.

I have no actual info.

Oh NFL was certainly multiple hundreds, almost certainly more than CSI/NBA. But as stated it was to use parts up, so that would've been a limiting factor without compelling amounts of orders.

SX would shock you with how many were made; most of them are probably in German landfills if I had to guess (or incinerators? I dunno what they do there).

There are probably at least 2K APs. Or right around there.

Quoted from kst8cat:

How can that be if production numbers were the same?

Dealer inventory.

I'm amused at the story of SXs being container fillers. That would certainly explain where most of them went. Pretty sure that game killed the German distributor, but not 100%.

I would be simply shocked if there were < 250-500 NFLs, but I can't be sure on that either. 85 sounds ridiculous even for a filler game.

Also, 250 Sharkeys is laughable and absolutely wrong. I know for a fact that one was around 1000.

Also 250 SXs is also extremely laughable. That one is likely to be closer to 2000, though I know no one will believe it.

Quoted from snyper2099:

Nope, there are around 400 reg Elvis machines and 500 gold Elvis machines. 900 total.

OK on gold, but LOLno on regular. Not even close.

As for no one seeing more NFLs or APs, NFLs were only sold through Betson and probably mostly to homeowners. A lot of APs were sold through Sharper Image, Hammacher Schlemmer, etc. I would imagine most bought from places like that have not moved since original installation for the most part.

Quoted from dung:

Only on pinside would people be bored enough to argue over sales numbers without any sales information.

Edited: Nevermind. I'm out. You can believe me or not.
