Hope so. That would suck if starfinder didn't do great.

Starfinder is doing great. The PHB 5e had dips in rank probably due to supply as well.

Looks like starfinder is back in stock at Amazon and it's recovering it's rank.

And for the actual subject of the thread here is the Players Handbook. 74 at the moment.

Wonder why the dip last Christmas. You'd think it'd be the other way.

No idea. I wish their graphs went back further. I want to compare 4e and pathfinder to 5e.

From what I can tell, sales rank becomes less reliable around holidays or other events that spur a lot of book sales. In the US at Christmas, you have a lot of kids' book and holiday-themed books that bounce up to fill the top rankings. Overall far more books move in total at that time. Your daily sales could go up at Christmas while your rank drops quite a bit.

Playing around with camel camel camel, thanks to [MENTION=52905]darjr[/MENTION] for the tip.

Looking at some of the adventures:







TftYP turns out to be the one with the highest peak to date. It and CoS have both done well. Need more time for ToA.

As far as I'm concerned, D&D doing well (which I think is pretty clear) is good for two reasons:

- it might induce WotC to pick up their settings, novel lines, etc. thus making me interested again in the game, which I'm only marginally is right now

- more people coming in could mean more potential players for other games, given time. Though, I'm not sure how big is the crossing, since most of the new crowd was made up from the casual gamers, brought in by the cross-media hype. But sure, some of them will probably try other things out, eventually, so it's still good.

Aside from that, I'm more interested seeing Paizo doing well, Chaosium doing well, Catalyst doing well, etc. Also, I really, really hope WW will do well with Vampire's 5th edition.
