It's because 1) the last few books have failed to excite* and have been reviewed poorly, with reason; 2) there's always a big hold-out when a new "edition" is on the horizon. Everyone holds off in buying books until they see what the new books are like.The first might not have been so bad, were it not for the second. I honestly think that things will right themselves when the 2024 Core books come out, and they turn out to be what WotC's designers have always said was their goal: A slightly-better version of 5e.*Personally, I think the Deck of Many Things is very exciting, but the last-minute recall followed by missing Christmas just about killed what momentum it had, and it's also going to suffer from the wait-and-see approach that is naturally taken by the vast majority of purchasers. Hopefully it will have a long shelf-life, but I suspect that it's not a product that WotC will be willing to do a lot of printings on. We'll have to see. It might disappear from the shelves relatively quickly.</blockquote>
