[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 5142940, member: 10095"] What actually happened was Mike Mearls unofficially pointing out that 4e's initial print run was bigger than 3.5's (which was bigger than 3.0's), and we were able to piece together some idea of scope from that combined with the announcement that the first print run sold out just before launch and the second print run sold out two months later (3e went for its second print run 4 months after the launch of the PHB). "A lot of stuff" being exactly what real evidence? We have notes from 3rd party publishers that their 4e stuff isn't really moving that fast. On the other hand, we have bestseller ratings from sites like Amazon that suggest 4e is doing brisk business. Fun with speculation is running a bit wild, since the claim that 4e is selling before 3e's sales figures is pure speculation in and of itself. [/QUOTE]
