[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 6762917, member: 12749"] You might want to reread what he actually said, not what you think he said... "From a business perspective, revenue is up."(note that he doesn't say net) "So you get more people buying fewer products for greater net revenue?" "That is correct."(note that he doesn't say what he's using as the comparable nor does he say positive) i.e. he agrees with the statement given to him, which can mean any number of things. Such as that's their intent rather than what is actually happening. He could be comparing this year to the year before 5e came out(which had basically no new product and no sales), etc... Now normally, I wouldn't try to look at things that closely, but look again at this quote from the previous interview: "Over-all our business is up significantly. I think anyone you talk to about what’s going on with Magic and D&D will tell you that we are having very, very strong sales." i.e. he often makes really positive sounding statements and it very well may be positive, but you can't just assume it actually is positive. Because we have an objective instance of lousy sales where he somehow spun it to be positive. [/QUOTE]
