It's true that 4E has more generic releases than 3.5, but it's not producing any more total books. I'm not really sure that I see that much of a distinction; it's still a case of "I like this concept, so I'll get it, I don't like that one, so I won't."

Well, I'm sure the average D&D buyer notices a difference.
"I remember when I bought my one book a month in
3e and was happy. Now there are three books a month I need to get!"
If you didn't buy setting stuff, your total quantity of books that you feel compelled to buy could have grown quite a bit.
But aside from that psychological leap, I don't think
4e is putting out books "too fast." I mean, if you don't want a book, don't get it. I think the average D&D player also needs to be broken of the collector's habit anyway, so if they choose to not get Divine Power and to instead wait for the
DDI, so they can still get the Eberron guide, that is, in my view, a more positive development.
And yet another word from our sponsors
