[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 4421635, member: 6616"] Next year. Yes, that's a realistic time frame for the sales of core books to level off into "noise". That gives WotC five more months to capture marketshare for 4e before that has happened to such a great extent that they need to do something. Like release a new Player's Handbook, perhaps? Darrin also supported that core rules follow a different sales pattern. Sure, sales will level off, they are biggest at the beginning, and that's why we have a 51% conversion after three months. And core rules that are in the third printing. If we continue to talk about this in context with your observation about Windows 95, I'll just say that I'm sure Windows 95 was pirated as well because people wanted something for nothing, although I'm not sure what point I'm making. Of course they did. What else would they say? And finishing up campaigns can take quite some time. And when those who haven't yet done so, do finish let's say Age of Worms, then 4e is there waiting for them, better supported, and more talked about online. Sure.
