Looking at your previous sales figures, you estimate that a splatbook in line A will sell 30.000 copies, and a splatbook in line B will sell 60.000 copies. Not surprisingly, you'll plan for more splatbooks in line B.So, the answer is that if the essentials line will achieve higher sales than the main line from combined sales to existing players and newcomers, we'll see more essentials products.If however, only 10% of the existing player base will buy and essentials books, and the newcomers will not be more than another 10%, while a standard splatbooks sells to 25%, you know the answer.</blockquote>
