Pong/Atari/Chuck E. Cheese creator attempts to reinvent the concept of an arcade

I'm sad to say it, but I think it will never work. This is the Xbox\Playstation generation...

versapak:
Sounds like a cool idea, but think about the wait for a table at a normal restaurant during busy hours...

I imagine that wait would be ten fold at a restaurant where the patrons proceed to enter into a gaming session, at those same tables, after eating.



[EDIT]

Also... Gaming at home, all comfortable like for free, is MUCH more appealing to most people these days, and the socialization brought by an environment, where everyone is gaming together in a room, is very much alive in Xbox Live.

Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate REALLY gives that great feeling of standing around a fighting machine

 Damnit : (   Ive had that idea forever.    Too bad I never had the cash or the courage to try to pull it off.    Ohh well, hope he makes it work well.   

 I had chose the name 'Futara'  or something  like that.   Each seating section was
a circular Pod - semi enclosed booth.    Tabletop as described.  Food came from the ceiling and was lowered down to the table when ready.  Surround sound.  Can play games, movies, listen to music..ect.   

 Of course... what may end up making / breaking the thing, may be the food quality.   That was my main concern.   If you do not have the best dishes.. people will just eat out somewhere else.

I don't think the problem lies in the fact that this generation plays on Xbox. It's the fact that nobody is going to pay $1-10 per hour (depending on how good you are) to play tetris.

It doesn't matter how long the wait is. If someone is staying longer it's because they're playing. If they're playing then money is being made. Everyone else can sit and wait for their table all night. It's not like a regular restaurant where the amount you spend has relatively little to do with how long you stay.
