[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6678082, member: 957"] I don't think that really speaks to my question. I have no doubt that they have massively grown over the past two years. And when you talk about sales "over the past year" you are including you and me. They got a huge bounce at release and a ton of fans bought this great new game. Compared to two years prior the idea that the had a huge bump is a no-brainer. What I'm saying at Month 1 to Month 6 and then look at Month 7 to Month 12. The lack of fall off is pretty amazing. As to "if it continues", that isn't really a fair standard for 5E to be held to. I mean, it will likely to be doing pretty comparable to right now 6 months form now. It *IS* a really good game and it isn't going to run into a cliff. But sooner than later it will lag just because. Again, I'm not challenging the massive success of 5E. My question was quite specifically "who is [u]still[/u] buying so many PHBs?" It is pretty amazing. Mistwell says that there really are THAT MANY people suddenly discovering D&D (my words, not his) and I don't have a better answer. I'm inclined to accept that and simply retreat to the position that I was forcing "typical" onto a highly untypical point in time. [/QUOTE]
