I find myself in the startling position of being in disagreement with you on this one, which may be a first for me. We operate an arcade in our soft serve ice cream restaurant which is very busy during the summer season. We typically have run around 10 or so pins at a time and I can tell you there has never been a title in that room that has made more than the 2 PB2K machines. And honestly the worst thought of title (STE1) out earns everything else. And we have had some A list stuff pass through, games that are worth triple on the collector market and they still don't compare to the coin drop on STE1.

Personally I think if WMS had stuck around to make more titles it could have been a game-changer for pinball. We will never know now.

I agree with all the comments. But as has been said before, PB2K will forever be judged on the only 2 games that made it to production. All the cool features (particularly the game/cabinet swapping) might have taken off in an environment where the production lasted longer than 18 months. As I remember WMS had no problems selling either title, folks were initially receptive even with the price increase.
