[QUOTE="Grazzt, post: 4753693, member: 7"] Except, 6 million D&D players doesn't have to mean 6 million 4e D&D players. They are likely guesstimating players across all editions of the game. (Maybe chalk this one up to the grand Marketing Dept at WotC.) I've heard the "4e is outselling 3.x" from WotC as well. Also heard by non-WotC peeps (not Dancey, but others) that it isn't. This isn't really a lie per se...it's the Marketing Dept again. :) They aren't gonna come out and say "Yeah- the game is cool, but it isn't doing as well as 3.x". There may be peeps discussing this internally (if it's true), but you'll likely never hear about it outside WotC. (Hey- at least it's not as bad as before 4e came out when they were telling us how crap 3.x was, and how 4e was gonna be the greatest thing ever.) This I somewhat agree with. I think they have other reasons they aren't stating for pulling PDF sales...like bringing them back in house and offering the stuff via DDI maybe. [/QUOTE]
