Welcome to ENWorld! So to speak.

I recently bought a 3.5 DMG off Amazon UK, I guess I influenced those figures. Got a 3.5e MM too, but off a smale games store selling it for ca £10 in p&p.

I remember that when I bought the FRCG from Amazon, it was around 249 in Sales Rank (or was it 294, September was so long ago!).

I think back around April or May when I preordered the Core Ruleset was #1.

I guess one part that seems very "off" to me is that the latest supplement (AV) is out-selling the core rules. Makes me scratch my head as to how that can be.

Keep in mind that the 4E core rulebooks each appear on that list twice--as individual titles, and as part of the gift set.

So the PHB is both #1449 and #2734.

Also, I think PF is so low because most folks who play it purchase directly from Paizo, though the relative scale of sales may be accurate.

I've pretty much stopped buying RPGs from amazon because of Paizo's subscriptions. I like my free .pdfs.

Thanks a lot Merric... you had to go and put my installment of Pathfinder on the list below WG7. I mean I like Poppinfarsh and all, but c'mon.

Anyway... these sales ranks mean very little to us in terms of our business model, as has been noted by a number of other posters in this thread.

What I find interesting is that the 3.5 core books are still selling about as well as the 4e books.

What I find interesting is that the 3.5 core books are still selling about as well as the 4e books.

Not if you factor in what Charles Ryan pointed out about the 4e Gift Set and the individual books being on the list as separate entries.
