"A $10,000 P3 Multimorphic system is trading on the second-hand market for around $6,700. That's unbelievable... this game is coming out with two strikes already. It's coming out down by a few runs in the bottom of the ninth. It doesn't, it's not going to have a built-in fan base or audience."

P3 Multimorphic platform struggles with resale value and needs a licensed theme to succeed

"You know, it's funny as Jerry says this stuff. I'm kind of like why don't you just make that wood Sort of insert playfield that's on the upper why just Jerry why don't you just like bring it all the way down Just make a normal pinball machine. I mean, I would just love it like the thing that's just killing me for p3 multi-bore pic It's like he's literally got to just keep Inching over the screen and building over the screen. Nobody needed to you never need it to screen Jerry You never needed to damn screen you just should have made a great pinball machine."

Jerry should abandon the screen and just make a normal pinball machine

"We've got to be you got to be fucking kidding me that this is a groundbreaking moment for Pinball. Can we for a moment? Can we for a moment ask one question? Have any of you ever been in a Dave and fucking Busters?"

Dave and Busters putting two P3 machines in one location is not a 'groundbreaking moment' for pinball

"people are not going to trade games like they trade video games it's it's just not that practical... by the time I buy one P3 I can buy two Stern pros by the time I buy P3 and two games additional at twenty five hundred bucks a pop I'm at fifteen thousand dollars"

P3 Multimorphic platform won't succeed due to lack of market demand and practical issues

"Jerry needs to do a focus group in which people are brutally honest with him about why they're not buying what he's selling... you need to do that and if it's not working it's not working"

P3 Multimorphic needs focus groups to understand why people aren't buying

"If you want to sell P3 Multimorphics, the best thing he could do is just yank out the big screen in the playfield and put a normal playfield in there. Higher, good artist, make a normal pinball machine and sell a thousand of them."

Jerry/Multimorphic should abandon the screen playfield and make normal pinball machines

"But my prediction for 2019 is that they won't go far enough and by that, I mean, they need to get a license theme onto this platform and do something magical to get the interest there. I don't think it will happen."

Prediction: Multimorphic won't go far enough in 2019 and won't get a license theme onto their platform to generate needed interest.

"I think there's areas too that aren't even part of the tech That um could be improved upon you know stuff like the artwork on the cabinet... art is not as expensive as people think"

P3 Multimorphic needs better cabinet artwork to compete at $10,000 price point

"But sometimes all the engineering ability in the world doesn't matter if you don't have a creative vision that people want because it's the creativity that sits on top of the engineering. That is what emotionally pulls people in."

Multimorphic's P3 engineering doesn't matter without creative vision people want

"In one day, Stern pinball will make more games than Jerry has shipped in seven years... So I really would love to know what kind of evolution has been achieved"

Multimorphic's P3 platform has failed to create meaningful innovation despite years of development

"I think the excitement has certainly dwindled on the p3... they haven't really been able to sell people on the the swapable playfield stuff it's a concept that nobody's clamoring for except for maybe a handful of people."

P3 platform's excitement has dwindled and swappable playfield concept isn't compelling

"Multimorphic has made the runs that shows now for over five years. People have seen the platform and it is the exact reason why it's really hard to get people excited again and again and again and again when the platform is the same and nothing on the platform has popped out and just like blown people away"

P3 Multimorphic has shown at too many shows without breakthrough success

"I also love the fact that Jerry's built a machine that you can get kids into. I don't think there's any pinball machines out there that are really kid friendly. I think P3, with a lot of the games on it, are the perfect introduction to pinball for kids, especially for kids who spend all day long staring at devices and screens."

P3/Multimorphic is great for kids and connectivity is their real differentiator

"I think they all solved a problem that did not exist. They manufactured the problem that they then went and solved. And in doing so, every company that has tried that has simply spent years not making any money while Stern Pinball has spent the last five years growing, making millions of dollars, increasing their fanbase"

P3/Multimorphic solved a problem that didn't exist

"it shoots really well. It flows really smoothly... there's actually more to shoot at than on a lot of pins, even if you exclude the interactive components on the playfield itself"

P3 Multimorphic successfully delivers on modular pinball promise

"Three months is very aggressive... whenever we have been given a date about when people can expect their machine... those dates are never hit unless it's stern and unless it's spooky, I've never seen another manufacturer hit a date that they've set"

P3's aggressive 3-month production timeline will likely fail like other manufacturers
