ICV2's Quartley Report on Games is out

[Maggan]

I'm shocked they have Scion number 5. What else is in the top ten?

I'm very much more surprised that Mutants & Masterminds have beaten out not only WoD and Exalted, but also WFRP, Conan, World of Warcraft RPG, GURPS, RIFTS and Runequest. Heck I'm even surprised it beat out Castles & Crusades.

Not that M&M is a bad game, it's an outstanding game, but the genre is not traditionally a strong seller. And this tells us GRR can outsell World of Darkness, the second biggest franchise in roleplaying, and Exalted which I thought was fairly big.

Hmmmm ... I have my doubts about those rankings. But then again, we all have, I guess.

Excellent news for GR, if the data are accurate. Cool.

I wonder how many RPGs get sold online and in book stores now?

Cheers!

Or the more sinister concern: how many do not get sold at all as they are being pirated?

On a brighter note - Star Wars Minis and D&D Minis doing so well augurs well over the long haul for WotC's continued commitment to RPGs.

M&M seems to be a very strong seller for a while.
