[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7971362, member: 7015558"] I will say, some of these numbers are a little misleading (of course introductory boxed sets will triple sales, you released a new one in 2019!) the bottom-line of this does look like Dungeons & Dragons still hasn't peaked! Which honestly is not surprising. I am curious whether this growth will continue in 2020, as there is some obvious economic impact. I'm curious as to whether D&D is more resistant to some of these shocks compared to other products, or whether it will be impacted regardless. I'll add that it is interesting they sent out this infographic to all of these press outlets. I've also seen these numbers/quote floating around; [LIST] [*][B]6th [/B]consecutive year of growth.
