You never catch ALL the fish you are trolling for.
WotC doesn't need every player. It needs some of the 3e fanbase, some of the Pathfinder fanbase, some of the 4e fanbase, some of the OS fanbase, some of the lapsed fanbase, and some fresh meat. If WotC manages to capture 15% of each group, it will be far and away the most played D&D game again.
It doesn't need to be a dessert topping, a hair gel, and a floor wax to cater to all those groups; it just needs to emulate the best of each and draw away some from each group to succeed.
