[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7666413, member: 7006"] And the folks at WotC would pull out all their documentation and tell them "The first three core rulebooks ALWAYS sell gobs of copies to make piles of cash... but here are the metrics that show that each subsequent book released past those three sell less and less and less copies. So we either could print and sell them all in Year One and Two like we have in the past, leaving Years Three through Five almosty completely barren of sales while our costs remain fixed on design, development, art, cartography, editing, and printing... or we slow down production such that those first bunch of new books show up in Years One through Five, and we delay the wasteland of edition sales to Year Six and beyond. At which point we might have 6E on the docket anyway for another massive boost of new Triple Core Book sales." Why this possible plan WotC appears to be doing seems perplexing to people kind of astounds me. [/QUOTE]
