I thought this deserved it's own thread.

In all these years I cannot recall WOTC once citing D&D in their revenue numbers specifically. I recall it being mentioned a couple of times for new launches or innovation or things like that, but not crediting it for higher revenue. Maybe I missed a point where they did mention it like that previously...

It did well. They didn't release numbers but in their 10-Q for the quarter ended this September (which means only the PHB and MM had released and not for very long) they cite the brand as one of their revenue makers.
"In the quarter, higher net revenues from MONOPOLY, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, SIMON, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS and OPERATION products were only partially offset by lower net revenues from other games brands, particularly BOP IT!, DUEL MASTERS and JENGA. In the first nine months of 2014, higher net revenues from MONOPOLY, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, SIMON, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, ELEFUN & FRIENDS and OPERATION products were more than offset by lower net revenues from other games brands, particularly BOP IT!, DUEL MASTERS, JENGA and TWISTER."
and
"The games category benefited from higher net revenues from MONOPOLY, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, SIMON, CONNECT 4 and OPERATION products in both the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2014."
