Quoted from wayout440:So after a week looks like Stern might sell a whopping 70-100 games from Pinsiders (of those that actually responded) and that is if they all actually buy them. I'd have to guess they'll sell a few hundred to non-pinsiders, maybe as many as a few thousand if the game play is very good. No they are not going to need a bigger factory, they are going to need to start working on the next title.
Quoted from wayout440:I'm just going by the initial poll reaction that shows a huge "I will not buy" response. I could only find an earlier Metallica survey that was similar - and it doesn't show as big of a negative "No I will not buy" vote like KISS.
I'm sorry, I keep hearing folks say there's a great initial reaction - but this doesn't jive with the survey, IMO.metbuy.JPG

Here's a Star Trek poll:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/star-trek-which-one-are-you-buying
341 People voted in the poll. 100 said they were buying ST, 234 said they were not. That's an even higher percentage than said they weren't going to buy Kiss.
As of today, over 600 pinsiders list ST in their collections.
It's way to early to make any kind of estimates on how the game will end up selling. Each game stands on it's own. And if you want to limit it to only bands, AC/DC was not exactly well received by a lot of people on this forum initially (and we know how that turned out).
Edit: Sorry, I should have included a screenshot.. Also, I have no love for Kiss, and I won't be buying one.
