Yup, of course everyone would like to get one of these for their gameroom.
Not happening for most people unless you're rich.

I don't want one for my game room and while you may think I'm rich, I don't think I'm rich.
I really shouldn't be commenting on this topic. I'm not the target market. I struggle to like regular pinball, so I definitely don't like the digital knock offs. I am curious how successful they'll be with this cabinet. In my world, it's a small market.

Even though they are totally different animals, considering some nuts are willing to pay 10k+ for a single table probably means there is enough interest in pinball to sell these. My argument was that unlike the a1up arcade machines, there are actually virtual pinball tables on the market in the same general price range as these.... and you get a lot more for your money.

Are you saying the market for digital pinball is small? its huge with this crowd, as is table hockey, basketball
and other arcade additions minituarized. So i'm not sure why you wonder about it.
There is the low cost ($300) toyshark, and mini (which is less), then the Atgames, and the Arcade 1up.
So there are already several hardware makers entering this market.
As Howard says, the sweet spot for home is $300-$700, which is the target. If you spend more, you can get
a lot better features.
I love pinball, but i don't like Pinball FX games, I prefer the classic late 70s-80s era tables. Anything too modern, I don't like.

I have guessed wrong with this market enough that I dare not guess again. For me, digital pinball is dead from the get go. No interest. Will the infinity table sell? N Seems like it shouldn't be a big seller, but again, no idea.
Just to continue the randomness, I did look at some of the bartop models today. I'll consider buying the Galaga one for the shell, as soon as I can find it for really cheap (think yard sale cheap) to mod with a 60-n-1.

They had them on sale on prime day for $45 somewhere.... only lasted a few hours though
