thing of the past. Unless some dyna-
mite hit comes along, conversions
will die.
3. The manufacturers will over-
produce and undersell lase r games.
The industry will gear up tO produce
tremendous numbers of lasers in an
attempt to get its oversized factories
back into full production. The prices
of laser games will fall dramatically
over the next year. The appeal of
laser games will not last any longer
than a conventional video 's, and we
will be faced with short-lived games
costing twice as much (with today's
low prices, as much as 10 times as
much ) as the ordinary videos. This
will kill the laser market.
4. Many manufacturers will be
forced out again.
5. The operators will not be
forced into poor economic risks and
will allow the manufacturers (who
have always dictated the posture of
the industry ) to eliminate them-
se lves.
In conclusion, I believe the opera-
tOrs will come out of the next 12
months in much better shape chan
the manufacturers and distributors .
We can look forward tO lower prices
as the giants of the industry place
themselves in the same posture as
the airl ine industry has done. The
giants have never had the operators
in mind. They will overproduce out
of greed.
