[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5188169, member: 54846"] It would SHOCK me if this were the case. I'm saying that Paizo [I]needs[/I] to sell less compared to WotC for the module to be considered a success. And I do think that WotC sells more modules in general, [I]if for no other reason[/I] because they have more exposure. I can walk into any Barns & Nobles, Borders, etc and I'm going to find at least [I]one[/I] module on the shelf. Same with any gaming store. Now, how many of those do you think I'm going to find a Pathfinder module? Paizo is focusing on a specialized market (those who used to play 3.5 and then updated to Pathfinder, and are internet savvy enough to follow). WotC is just selling to anyone who is now playing 4e. There's no way for either of us to prove anything, considering that Paizo nor WotC releases any sort of info on their sales. So both of us are going purely on our perceptions and assumptions. If that were the case, then Paizo's modules would cost more. What? I really don't see how management has any impact on it. [/QUOTE]
