Every answer so far has been excellent and I am stoked so many people have joined in.
Keep the opinions coming cause it's a good topic.
By not producing production titles, I think it keeps the resale figures higher because u think a game is rare cause most people probably imagine conservative figures sold versus inflated numbers ?
I asked AMD what was there biggest seller ever over and above ACDC and the answer surprisingly was X Men easily.
So it seems X Men beats all before it except ACDC.
I am told that the TWDead figures will beat X Men by AMD. So that is also surprising. X Men beats out Spider-Man and LOTR and all the others. But you don't see many X Men up for sale but you do see a lot of other Stern titles on ebay etc etc. I will say the quality of X Men as a game and as a manufactured piece was very high on the quality list.
I think TWDead will do some big numbers, maybe not as big as ACDC but if it is going to beat out X Men than its very popular.
What will Stern have to build to beat out TWDead ?
Wondering what is their next game is always intriguing to me.
Love wondering what magic comes next.
Another question I wanted people's opinions on, is WHO is the best designer of all time at Stern.
My answer is John Borg (aka Borgy) who I think is a genius.
He beats out Steve Ritchie (aka The King) in my opinion by a small margin.
I could tally up all the pre Stern games for both designers production runs for all their non Stern games, but without the real Stern sales figures we will never really know who has sold the most units by total games figures and designs.
I might do a list of every game each legend has designed to see who has designed the most pinball machines.
There's probably 20 to 25 games each by now.
Stern is on a winner with Borgy and The King on the payroll.
And more magic to come from both. Very cool.
Who's the best, Borgy or SR. ? ? ?
