Are you sure that Purikura means "photo booth"? My understanding was that Purikura was a particular ''brand'' of photo-based machine (abbreviation of "Princess Clara"?) which also had several spinoffs. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hyphz|Hyphz]] ([[User talk:Hyphz#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hyphz|contribs]]) 18:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)</small>

==Decline date?==

"This decline is due mainly to the fact that after 1994 arcade game companies failed to stay ahead of the technology curve and would release games that had graphics equal to or worse than the video game consoles of the time."

I really question the date of when Arcades supposedly declined. In 1994, Primal Rage was released, which was a major sucess in the arcades. In 1995 MK3 was released. A big name in arcades, as was Street Fighter Alpha, and Sega Rally Championship. This is among others in the following years of the late 90s. Honestly I would put the decline around when the ps2/gamecube/xbox generation came. That would be from around 2000 onwards. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.0.101.141|71.0.101.141]] ([[User talk:71.0.101.141#top|talk]]) 02:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)</small>

:while it is true that there were some major arcade hits (''[[Soul Calibur|Soul Calibur 2]]'', ''[[Virtua Fighter|Virtua Fighter 4]]'', ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]''), most arcades in Europe and the United States closed because the lack of new visitors. Playstation 1 and Dreamcast could rival most arcade titles at the time and the arcades didn't draw new crowds because it was no longer the pinnacle of computer gaming. So the decline of the arcade machines was rather with the appearance of PS1, Dreamcast and 3D accellerator cards for PCs. [[User:Felsir|Felsir]] 11:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

::I have to agree with the 1994 date, as though it surprised even me to see that listed, one should take note that it states 'decline' and not 'death.'

:::I have statistics from Vending Times for 1996, 2004, 2005, and 2006. I'm attempting to find stats prior to 1996. Here is what I have so far:

::::2006 Total Revenue $6,218,000,000

::::2006 Total Revenue $6,218,000,000

:::For that period, amusement revenue has been flat, but has not decreased. The numbers can be broken down by catagory. For instance, video game revenue in 1996 was $1,768,000,000. In 2006 it was $935,000,000. So in that period, video game revenue was reduced by about half. In 1996 redemption revenue was $265,000,000. In 2006 it was $868,000,000. So that catagory grew by a factor of three. These numbers come from the Vending Times Census of the Industry. They are numbers supplied to Vending Times through a yearly census they take of the industry. There is too much information for me to try to give here.

"[[Game center]]" is the Japanese synonym of the video arcade, I believe. The Japanese article defines the game center as a "facility where arcade game machines are installed." The word "arcade game" exists but for the building they use "game center" even if the place is small. The two articles should be merged unless the Game Center article is meant to cover arcades in Japan. [[User:Shawnc|Shawnc]] 13:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
