We are talking about 2 different topics.
Firstly It was a measurement of titles, not overall game numbers. The way I calculated it first, it wasnt on total machine sales, but on how many titles were movie based or licenced versus unlicensed titles. Thus the majority of 1990's titles were movie based. My figures then suggested the overall numbers were still higher for movie/licenced themes overall. Respectfully, I dont agree with those figures.
For me to use/consider those figures u have supplied, so I could check the data, I would want to see every single machine from every single manufacturer listed with its total beside it etc so i could then check the numbers. I did it already for Bally, Williams, Stern, Sega, Data East etc, and my figures are the opposite.
Can u list every title and its sales numbers next to it to show how u came to those figures ?
Be serious! Its on IPDB.. why dont you list all titles with numbers next to them as a reply. If youve done it already, then scan it it or paste it... less work on your part.
But.. i will add to my previous post that if i pick at the numbers a bit further, then licenced themes made up 31% of total production but accounted for 41% of sales, so unless im wrong, licenced themes faired roughly 10% better than non licenced. Some titles though there are no production numbers for... Party Zone is one.
According to your good self and with much respect Brett, you have already stated that games like MM are movie based as films like Robin Hood have been made before it.. with that information to hand, your numbers would be nonsense to anyone but yourself.
