D&D 5E 3 Years Later: D&D's total Domination on Amazon (and Earth in General)

So I was wrong, ToA is doing really well. #54 or so overall, which is pretty amazing for an adventure.

I will give it a few days, and look at some of how the other adventures did.




That pic above is showing a lot of overall sales. Maybe RPGs really are starting to approach the success of other hobby games.

CoS seems to have done way better than the other adventures, it is often ranked as high or higher than even the more recent titles, while blowing away any older ones. How much is due to the quality of the adventure vs setting/flavour is hard to tell but it is certainly interesting and no doubt noticed by Wotc that the one adventure from a different setting is doing so well. Here are a few numbers from a year ago;

My feeling is the variety that CoS brings is a major factor in its popularity.

PHB is 90 on all books.
ToA is 54.
Xanathars is 200

Starter Box is 800!

54 is huge.
Especially when Starfinder only hit around 90. We'll see if it hangs around that number for a few days or if it spikes and drops.

I thought Starfinder hit 1

Holy crap Starfinder nose dived. It's 11478 overall, and #38 in gaming books. Yikes. It's only been a month since release.

To put it in perspective, Hoard of the Dragon Queen is selling better than Pathfinder Core which is selling better than Starfinder. Yikes.

I thought Starfinder hit 1

Not that I am aware of.

Anyone else see it hit #1?

 

[darjr]

It got to 89. I just checked camel camel camel.

Huh. The ccc graph for the players hand book is interesting. You can see reflected in it WotC trying to come to terms with supply and the rank tanking several times because of it. Then it sorta steadies out. It does look like a shop caught by surprise. But that is only a guess based upon what I've heard WotC folks say publicly.

 

[darjr]

Actually it might be that Starfinder has dropped in rank due to supply constraints as they try and fix the binding issues.
