So, are all the new arcade machines made that now use LCD screens not 'real' arcade games? :P

PPS: LCD sucks...

I'm not trying to convince anyone. I threw out an idea as a (hopefully) possible answer to all those that kept on wishing to have big screen 4:3 LCD. You on the other hand with your last comment trying to hijack the thread and turn it into what's better.

...$50 000 profit is peanuts to an electronics manufacturer.  That's what it costs to pay just two employees at a Sony Style store for a whole year.  In 2008 Sony LOST 2.8 billion dollars, you think they or any other electronics manufacturer would care about a project that would bring in a measly $50k in profit?  One of their engineers likely costs more per year than that, and they'd rather have that engineer working on something a hell of a lot more profitable.

The thing is,  it's not going to be profit.

God, I didn't make the calculations for them, I said theoretically, IF after everything was said and done (retooling line paying for all the costs like paying for those engineers for their time making it possible within reasonable amount of time and blah blah) they were left with $50k profit they would not walk away from it even if it paid for one person for entire year. AGAIN I'm not saying (after how SavannahLion explained) is possible. Do you understand. I just said 50K profit PROFIT is good for anyone. That's it. Get it?

It's you who doesn't get it.  While major electronics corporations have signifigant resources they do not have unlimited resources.  $50 000 is NOT a lot of money as I said it's peanuts to them.  For all the effort they would put into doing this silly idea of yours, they could instead focus those resources on a project that could generate far more signifigant profits.  Why would they waste time and resources focused on that when they could focus it on something else?

$50 000 profit is good, unless while you were screwing around with that you didn't have your resources focused the product that would have generated $100 000 000 profit.  Quite frankly, that's what TV manufacturers focus on and that's why they will laugh at the idea of dicking around pointlessly on 4:3 LCDs for a meesly $50k.
