[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8696841, member: 22779"] What is the point of nit-picking the information here? It is what it is. A comparison of the core setting material for each setting. Full stop. There is no "misleading". People keep trying to make this far more than it is. It's just a comparison of the main setting set. Maybe a setting did better in later splats? I don't know. That information is probably in the book. If you want more information, wouldn't the best thing be to go actually buy the book and look it up? There's no real conclusions to be drawn here other than the main one that about a very short time after release, virtually every print product cratered in sales. It does explain the constant book churn out business model and also explains why we had (depending on how you count) several editions and different game lines. So long as each book starts with that fairly high sales number, that's good enough to keep the boat afloat, but, you're constantly trying to patch the holes in your boat and it will eventually sink, giving rise to a new edition.
