That's the real question you need to be answering. Because no TT RPG has ever come near to how well D&D is doing right now. In the 1990s, White Wolf eclipsed TSR for a while, but that was because TSR were ailing, and the actual amounts being made were pretty low. In the 2000s, Paizo apparently sometimes sold more books than WotC did with 4E, but only on an irregular basis, and the evidence for total profits is a lot weaker - and again, this was because 4E was underperforming even by the bar of that era. We know 5E is insanely more successful the 3E and 4E were, like no comparison.(Also do we actually know how much 5E made last year? I'd be interested to know.)</blockquote>
