I find this comment interesting. How exactly is it poor reasoning and logic that would lead me to the possibilities I posted? They are perfectly logical conclusions, and I suspect they carry with them more than just a bit of truth.
Which, of course, will mean that Necro can then support 4E, as we have long wanted to do.

I think the main problem is you presented a false dichotomy (or trichotomy, if you include your "A+B" option). You gave only two possible reasons, whereas there are many more, as subsequent posts demonstrate.I find this comment interesting.

A) All available evidence (from inside and outside of WotC) suggests that not only is 4e selling very well, but that month on month it's outselling 3.5, 3e and 2e.
B) For it to be a PR blunder is an entirely subjective opinion and would also require vast numbers of people to say that they're not going to buy 4e solely because of the GSL. I've not seen that, and I doubt you have either. Moreover given the above sales, that PR blunder can't exactly be vast.
Mostly though I just found it a cheap attempt to make a snarky comment that doesn't actually have any supportable evidence behind it (I'll give you PR blunder, but not vast).
The tiresome '4e is selling badly' as so much independent argument against it that it's gone into pure fantasyland (it might well be selling badly in A store/X stores but globally it's selling very well).
