I have to see that. NOTHING I have seen has remotely shown that 4e sales have hit the 3.0 sales when released. Let alone including 3.5 items.
3.0 was the high point, as Goodman pointed out, a perfect storm that folks were ready for alot of change, that drew players back in. Where as the split because of the OGL/GSL fiasco sheered off a number of old players and didnt quite bring in the new.
WotC announced a while back that the print run they sold through of the 4e core books was larger than the number of core books sold during 3e. Or that it was the largest print run of D&D books ever. Or something. It was a while ago, I don't really remember that well.
The point is, there have been indications that 4e has done appreciably well compared to previous editions.
