According to our own EN World's tracking system. Dang, that's impressive no matter how you slice it!

*5E*. There is no 5.0.

...I feel better.

EDIT: Good news about that community focus shifting to the new edition, though.

30 Helens agree...

and a lot of people are also buying it...

The key is a lot of people actually playing it. I think we will be fine.

A huge launch always heps. As does having a really good game.

Very nice.

Also I think there's something to be said for the fact that it's polling 7 out of 10 and it hasn't even been released yet. Technically next week should be the big one, right? That's when Amazon orders ship and the PHB is out everywhere.

It seems as though their marketing strategy has worked...

It wouldn't have, if they didn't have a solid game to back it up.

Otherwise, people who have been playing the early release would have told their friends not to bother, and there wouldn't be nearly as many curious enquirers poking around the forums.

Talking about something on the net does not always equal revenue. Sharknato was talked about hugely on twitter and other social media but the ratings for it were not good. There has been plenty of talking about 5e but mostly it seems people are just reading and analyzing everything without much playing.

Wait, geeks often spend a lot of time analyzing and talking about things they like but never actually do?

Was that the movie about the group of North Atlantic Shark Nations that joined together to overcome the Union of Shark Socialist Republics?

Because it was talked about hugely, I'm pretty sure Sharknato made / is making a ton of money. At least enough to make Sharknato 2 The Second One.
