Some good news on the Sega front, especially for arcade operators – I was informed by my distributor today that Sega has decided to drop the price on RaceTV by $2000 to better position it in the marketplace. Where they had RaceTV for about $8200 before, it is now $6200 (prices might vary slightly from distributor to distributor). Now we have been saying for a while now that games need to be lower priced to drive them in the marketplace and now this will certainly help RaceTV in sales with operators that may have been considering one of the many other racers out there that were a little lower in price.
Let’s hope that this will sell better now and that Sega will do the same thing with their other games.
In Hong Kong the price is less than 5900$. Anyway this game sux. Daytona Usa 2 and Scud Race are better.
