Quoted from tbanthony:

Just comparing pics from Stern's own site of GB and AS with SW it seems apparent to me why there has been a hesitant initial reaction.

Look at that! 3 modern Stern games side by side. Each of them has flippers, and the ball can drain down the middle or on the left or even the right side of each machine! The play fields have the same dimensions. Fancy that!. Furthermore, each play field looks amazing and has vibrant colours, and has well designed ramps for the silver ball to hug. Not only that, they also have coin doors and the start button seems identical. Not to mention that the plungers and kickers seem to be situated in the same positions. And did you notice that the shooter lans are all on the right hand side of the playfield? Also, in each machine a main object of the game is to hit the silver ball with the flippers so that it hits various well positioned targets that are integrated with the unique theme of the game that is so deep few players get to the end of it!

Hesitant initial reaction? Haven't all the LEs sold out by now? That's not a hesitant reaction!

That's pinball! The idea is to have fun playing pinball. SW looks like heaps of fun to me!

Too bad I can't afford to own or find room for every machine I like!

Quoted from DaveH:

You do the same thing in JJP threads. You're welcome.

Why would Iceman wish to stoop down so low to that gutter level?

Spoiling threads with clutter is not within the good spirit of Pinside.

Quoted from cooked71:

on the pricing argument, I really question the notion that Stern are overpricing NIB games. How many competitors have been able to enter the market and successfully undercut them? Recent history is littered with companies who thought they could do it better and cheaper, but have failed. Chinese production aside, you might be able to do it better, but definitely not cheaper. NIB pricing is the way it is because that's what it costs to produce AND make a profit from an incredibly niche product that is very complicated to build, and is by definition still mostly "analogue" in nature.
You can argue that at current prices you can't justify or afford NIB games, but you can't argue Stern's mission is to fleece the market. I'm sure their mission is to be a profitable and sustainable pinball manufacturer. The 2 "competitors" have a long way to go to prove they are either profitable or sustainable.

Agreed!

Profits = the business goes on and grows, new pinball machines keep getting designed and built, new people buy their first machine, and pinball playing increases around the world

Losses = the business goes under, hundreds of people lose their jobs, Stern stops making new machines, and pinball playing takes a dive around the world.

I would rather the Stern profits scenario, because that's good for pinball overall. Having other competitors around is also good as that helps to keep Stern honest and tight with pricing.

Anyone out there think Stern is making super or unreasonable profits? If they were printing money dozens of other manufacturers would be popping up to also make easy money, just like in most other business ventures. The fact is, however, it's not easy making money out of pinball. So long as someone is making some money, and expanding, pinball has a future.
