so there's plenty of money out there people are willing to piss away.
Ok, aside from the fact that Call of Duty has tons more features,
depth, interactivity, portability, etc., let's do the economics on CoD
verses Pinball:
Let's say Call of Duty costs $40, probably more, but we'll say $40,
and let's say it offers 40 hours of play (in reality it's probably
much more than that).
Compare that to pinball: Let's say .50 for a 3 minute game - again a
conservative estimate. To get 40 hours worth of play time on pinball,
you'd have to spend $400.
Call of Duty costs roughly $0.02 a minute to play. Pinball is $0.17.
Yup, good point. That's an ROI pinball can't compete with. However,
don't forget to factor in the cost of the game platform, controllers,
monitor, junkfood, and numerous failed relationships. :)
