[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8474037, member: 4348"] If they've only sold 1 million PHB's...that number does not compute. That is saying 50 players use ONE PHB. I might give leniency if it was 5 per PHB...but 50 per PHB is rather...absurd. 5 Players per PHB is actually pretty lenient to a degree...as even in what I've seen most groups either has every other person (if not every person) having a PHB, or at least one or two in a 4 - 6 person group. With the numbers being claimed it HAS to be around 1 million PHB's per year or their numbers of how many are playing are WAAAY off no matter how you look at it. Even if we account for 1 million PHB's a year since 2013, that's 8 million PHB's, times 5 would be a MAXIMUM of 40 million...so even there it is not at 50 million. If we say they didn't sell a million PHB's per year until this past year, and it's more around the average of zero to a million each year, averaging around 500,000 per year, that's still around 4 million which would put it at a little over 12 players per PHB (still, what I think is a VERY rather absurd number) if we are claiming 50 million players.
