[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6799697, member: 6716779"] Based on the ICV2 data my guess was sales of 100k units with an absolute ceiling of 200k assuming 100% of D&D sold was PHB. So maybe 150k sold +30k a year now. Its roughly middle of the road in terms of D&D sales. In the equivalent amount of time I think it is outselling 1st ed but not outselling 2E, BECMI or 3E so its roughly in the middle in terms of D&D sales. 1E had the highest sales number but that was in print for 14 years (77-1990) and was reprinted 16 or 17 times IIRC. I think one 1st ed product (ToEE) was reprinted in 1994 for the last time 5 years after 2E launched. Online 3.x (3.5+PF) is roughly played the same amount as 5E. And thats why they are probably not beating 2E and 3E in sales the market is still split with 70% or so playing some version of D&D online but split over the editions and clones. 5E it seems doesn't even have a majority of D&D players but it is the largest fragment (online).
