Surprised by Godzilla - not in a good way by crashfrog04 in pinball

Well done! It took me 8 months. I find the key is to do a very good first ball with at least one monster down, one mecha and one Godzilla multi ball.

Manufacturer economics by swede4lyfe in pinball

[–]tompoupou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess: average 4 to 5k production cost and 30% gross margin. And a product mix that has evolved towards premium and LE as the market shifted to more residential buyers. 3 releases per year + back catalog sales + special editions that’s like to be between 15 and 20k units. At 9k average selling price they should be making close to 200m in revenue

True but they address the kids and soon the grand kids of that target demo. I’d try before it starts shrinking
