It's probably too early to tell, but I do think Dialed In has the potential to get a younger crowd back into pinball. Couple that with the JJP redemption add-on and the selfies, drone, cellphone, emoji's and other things the game has that are wildly popular with school aged kids and even a fair amount of adults, I do think all in all it has the potential to open some doors with a newer crowd. We'll just have to see how many of these start ending up in homes and on location.

If it tops WOZ and Hobbit sales, then we're starting to get somewhere. If Lawlor being on it also helps drive sales, who knows what could happen. He's the one who designed Addams Family (20,270 produced), Twilight Zone (15,235), FunHouse (10,750) Whirlwind (7300) and Road Show (6259) so I'd say his track record is good and people's expectations are very high. I'd guess in todays market, 3000-5000 will sell, but if it breaks 5000 produced/sold, then that will seal the deal.

JJP seems to have made pinball more exciting and popular in some ways. It's possible Dialed In could appeal to a new crowd, in essence, growing the market and making it more popular. Dialed In is also responsible for the popularity and interest in this particular thread, and others, so there is that as well.

Quoted from PopBumperPete:

Get some younger people to pick themes and design features

Actually, JJP is already doing that. They have a younger designer on board now named Eric Meunier and I'm pretty certain he worked with Pat to do the engineering on Dialed In. A quick search shows him being credited on that game.

As of May 2016 his LinkedIn page now has been updated to him being listed as a designer at JJP, where previously he was listed as an electrical engineer with JJP. Eric has a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering and a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering.
