[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 5650536, member: 11816"] As mentioned I think the success and how well the new beginners boxed set is for Pathfinder will make a fairly big impact on how many new players they can start bringing in. But even if everything breaks Paizo's way i don't see them dominating the market. I could see something like 45% Pathfinder, 40% 4e and 15% everything else(note those are random numbers to make a point) and outsell/become more popular than 4e. Will it happen is another question but I could see it happening, if everything breaks Pathfinders way. The only way i see Pathfinder becoming the 800 pound gorilla of RPG's is honestly if 5e comes out, fails to bring in many new players or lapsed players and further splits their 4e fan base like 4e did with 3e fan base. Now if we are talking long term like 10-20 years down the road, then who knows. Thing can change dramatically in that amount of time. [/QUOTE]
