Not sure how I ran across this but it's amazing. His 2001 opinions on the future of pinball were pretty much what a lot of us were thinking at the time. Luckily we were wrong!

Newer collectors may never know the feeling of the only pinball manufacturer in the world releasing WoF. The hobby as it stands today seem ed inconceivable in those days.
Quoted from Frippertron:Pinball is back, but do any of you guys really think the days of a title selling over 10K units could ever happen? At the current price point that would be a big fat no. It's back but it's niche and that's OK as long as we remain a passionate and dedicated community it will thrive.
Only possibility = China.
Quoted from SUPERBEE:Nope, generally the only products that do well coming from China is the low cost use a few times and then throw away cheap stuff.
No, the only possibility of ever selling 10k machines is if the Chinese develop a taste for pinball. Not too likely.
