but who says Stern will need to copy anything from JJP....????  !@#

Stern are not going widebody, Gary has made that clear....he is not going 26 inch LCD......his boards are staying in the headbox....and he has his own new computer boards coming and his own new sound system upgrades done as well.....he has his own new modular boards already and has them designed and out onsite with 50 test AC/DC models...that R & D was done ages ago....well before WOZ was ever shown in detail to the public...

what else is left to copy ? nothing really that I can see at all.....

Stern is blazing ahead all by itself with various great titles and variations of its titles with its Pro, Premium and LE models etc......Stern will outsell JJP 6 to 1 in the next 2 years easily.....Stern are doing realy really well. All by themselves. It has absolutely nothing to do with JJP.

Also, what new innovation has JJP really introduced, clear inserts only, Stern were already doing coloured LEDS.....and JJP have a LCD.....Pin2000 had a viewing monitor...nothing new here except technology allows for a 26 inch flat screen instead of a old stle CRT.....so we have a few extra speakers, and clear inserts only....the widebody, the viewing screen,the computer in the base like Pin2000, the various playfields, all been done before 12 or 13 years ago....
This JJP innovation everyone talks about is slightly over rated somewhat dont you think ? Clear inserts and a few extra speakers....but that is it !


This thread is about the stern article. Now it has turned into another Stern VS JJP thread. This thread is a discussion about an article written in 1983. It is not a promo for Stern's current sales and marketing !
