[QUOTE="teitan, post: 9238579, member: 3457"] With the high sales continuing on 5e and new player influx I could see many players from the last 2 years not buying into the new edition at first because of sunk cost, they already paid 100-150 for their books and now they're asking 120-180 for new ones sort of thing. Slow sales for D&D are still high sales for anyone else. If they are as backward compatible as they are claiming then many may not see a reason once the new books release and if they are... what is the compelling reason aside from the new Monster Manual for a veteran DM to have their monsters in line with MOTM and later releases following the DD1 format? They haven't provided one yet, nor for their VTT over groups already using Roll20 etc at this point. So slower adoption is probably written into expectations. I expect gangbusters first month or so and then a slower sales with 5e stock still out there and as it filters out the new stock picking up. It will still be a success and dominate the market, overall it will probably be stronger but revised will take time to reach the same install base. [/QUOTE]
