If you have talked with a large number of retailers, this should not come as a surprise to anyone. Pathfinder sells extremely well in some regions, outselling D&D in those areas. In other areas, the reverse remains true and D&D remains #1. For those who listened to Episode 007 of our Podcast in early September - Erik Mona confirmed that the APG printing for Gencon essentially sold out at Gencon (all but a little less than one box acording to Erik). Add that to the number of sucscribers who purchased a copy of the first print run of the [I]APG[/I] - and I'm not at all surprised to see Paizo do so well. I'll go further: I predict that in at least one (and possibly two) of the next five quarters? Paizo will come in at #1 and WotC be at #2. When you look at the sheer number of products that Paizo releases for [I]Pathfinder[/I] RPG -- really -- none of this should be a surprise to anyone.
