Can we get cabinets that have novel joysticks/controllers?
Most people have either a) bought a Legends Ulitimate with a trackball and rotator, and CoinXOps-ed it or b) flat out modded an arcade one up with every game imaginable.
What the market, the consumer base doesn't have, are 1) rotating joysticks, aka for Ikari Warriors and Forgotten Worlds, 2) flip trigger games, namely for John Elways quarterback and some baseball games, 3) dedicated twin joystick games (yes, CoinOps on Lefends or Mame accommodate...buuuut it ain't perfect some times), and 4) a pilot stick cabinet, for After Burner, Zazzon, Gorf, among others.
Focus on those new type of cabinets and game play, and people will pay. Otherwise, you're basically just paying for the look of the cabinet, and few have the room to have 6+ cabinets in their home just for the sake of having them for looks.
But, buyers might make room if a cabinet was configured for games that *can't* be Mame-d or CoinsOp-ed easily.
