Pathfinder never sold well comparatively speaking. It doesn't matter how old something is if its total sales are still tiny.

Pathfinder never sold well comparatively speaking. It doesn't matter how old something is if its total sales are still tiny.
And also its greatest strength.
Look, if you want DMless D&D?
Go play a board game. Specifically Descent or Wrath of Ashardilon (or the others in that series - Elemental Evil, Drizzt, Ravenloft, I forget their exact names, but they're basically all the same). Tomb could also work.
Pathfinder sold fantastically. ‘Comparatively speaking’ is not relevant information. Just because Avengers Endgame exists doesn’t mean that Jurassic Park didn’t do well. The fact that Everest exists doesn’t mean the Empire State Building isn’t tall. Outliers are not the standard.
And also its greatest strength.

Right, but we're comparing the player counts between 5e and Pathfinder.
The statement was that Pathfinder sold well so it stands to reason that the player numbers of 5e and Pathfinder will be close.
Well, comparatively speaking, that just isn't the case.
Can we recognize the fact that not all people that play D&D, or other RPG's online use roll20?Here's a 'sample' of the player base on roll20 from their June 2018 quarterly report.
They use the term 'sample' so I'm unsure how to read this. What we can do is look at Pathfinder. We know that the total number of Pathfinder players in the world is minuscule compared to D&D both from icv2 earnings reports as well as Amazon sales rankings.
Yet on roll20 Pathfinder players are almost 40% as numerous as 5e players.
What we can conclude from this report is that roll20 is not where 5e players are playing while Pathfinder players are more likely to be playing online.
76000 is less than .4% of 5e players. Even if we increase that 10 fold to 760000 we haven't even hit 4% while if we increase Pathfinder 10 fold then 270000 has to be a huge chunk of their player base right? So I think it is entirely possible that this 'sample' is close to their actual player counts.
Does anyone have Pathfinder player numbers?

Oh, no. Of course not, I just made a very bad guess. I looked into it some more, and I agree that number wasAre you really sticking to your 50% claim?
I think that number is ridiculous.
