[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7470943, member: 37579"] First, it's not a dozen. It's a couple hundred: [url]https://www.tckpublishing.com/amazon-book-sales-calculator/[/url] Second, we're not just talking about top 500, but top 50. And while a few dozen copies can do it for a brief spike, for bragging rights, we're not talking about a brief spike. Instead, we're talking about [I]a continued presence for multiple years[/I]. And we're also talking about the Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller lists We have the CEO of Hasbro saying in an interview that "D&D had its best year every." Not 'best year this edition'. Not 'best year in ages' or even 'best year in decades'. Ever. Which would include 1983 with 1e and the Red Box doing gangbuster sales. That's some pretty good data. Also... what the eff does it matter to you if we're "overly enthusiastic"? How does it affect you slightly in the most remote of ways that we *might* be needlessly excited a hobby we love is a hit? Seriously. You're coming into a thread you don't believe matters and killing our happy buzz. Why? For what benefit? You're not going to convince us, and we're evidently never going to convince you? Why kill the mood? [/QUOTE]
