I was just recently ordering some things off Amazon, and out of curiousity, I decided to go look at the ranking for the most popular RPG products ( Books > Science Fiction and Fantasy > Gaming).
A bit to my surprise, The Pathfinder Core book was sitting in the #1 spot (about 10 PM Friday night 3/19/11). I checked again the next day, and PF is still there. (Whats even wierder is that four books of the so-called Morcyth saga, of which I've never heard, are on the list). It was very odd, as I've never before seen WotC's products fall out of the #1 spot.
What's also strange was at the time I was looking, the highest-ranked Wotc product on the list was the Dungeon Tiles, followed immediately by the starter set. The Rules Compenduim was somewhere in the 20s, and the 4E PHB was ranked below the PHB2 & 3. In each case, the Pathfinder product was placed ahead of the similar Wotc product (Bestiary ranked above Monster Vault, which ranked above the MM1/2/3, Advanced Players outranked Heroes of..., etc). I was very surpised to see the 3.5 PHB likewise in the top 20.
Since it is unlikely that WotC and Paizo will release direct sales numbers, are there any other places on the web to look up selling trends to see where WotC is sitting at in the sales rank?
