Mainly because they need to publish something new regularily to get free publicity for their main product, and secondarily because those books will probably sell really well. Regarding the advantages of fewer items selling better, I am assuming that they will produce higher quality items with less filler material, and also react better to the reception of previous material.I really hope they focus less on splat books and more on rules extensions that promote various ways of using the 5e. I am much more likely to buy a book on creating and running a city campaign (with a good sample adventure), than if they produced splat book #17 which adds yet another 50 powers/feats/spells for Deva Wizards.As somebody mentioned in the other thread, in a group you often just have one or two persons actually buying the books, and often, it's the DM. I am betting that WotC is seeing from the sales on dndclassics.com that the adventures, campaign settings and other materials for the DM are selling much better than the splat books.Splat books might sell better to start with, but the "tail" of sales is probably pretty low and short, while the "tail" for adventures, campaign settings and so on is much longer. I bet they like seeing sales on 30 year old adventures like they are now.</blockquote>
