Quoted from Rarehero:I understand why they're trying games like WWE and Mustang...they're not trying to appeal to "us" - the pinheads - they're trying to show new groups of people that pinball exists, and in that sense, those games might be "successful enough". Lets just say these games aren't hits but at least break even...the media exposure (Mustang at Ford shows, for example) makes it worth it. Since Stern always has many games on the production line, games like these not being hits doesn't destroy them...they're still selling Walking Dead, Star Trek, Metallica, etc.
I say this is spot on.
A good example is when I go to pinball shows and run the booth I run into maybe 1 or 2 people out of the hundreds I talk to who know what pinside is. That's the market they are going after with many of these releases and hence why the LE games aren't sold out cause the more hardcore collectors are buying those. Those hardcore collectors aren't in this current bunch this game is intended for perhaps
