This isn't marketed at the people on the newgroup, you're exactly right.
Look @ what America does with our money. Look @ all the b.s. we spend it
on. We'll buy ANYTHING. This game is vaguely cool, they'll have no problem
selling tons of them. Like Mark said, most people don't consciously think
about Arcade games. They don't even realize they can have them in their
homes, I run into them on Ebay all the time selling stuff. They have no
idea how much they are, where to buy them, they never even think about them.
They'll see this thing in the store, it'll remind them of arcade games
they've played in the past, and they'll buy it as a novelty thing. They'll
probably play it 4 or 5 times then never use it again like the rest of the
junk most of the country buys.
How hard is it to whip out a credit card and buy a 500 dollar piece of junk,
people buy 500 dollars worth of junk they don't need all the time. Average
household c.c. debt is like 25 grand in America. Most people pay 500 bucks
a month for the priveledge of driving a car the bank owns. My neighbor just
spent 500 bucks on a remote control toy car. People spend friekin' 3 grand
on a new t.v.!
My conclusion: This thing will sell like wildfire!
