[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9851609, member: 6716779"] People underestimate old D&Ds sales numbers. Core basic stuff outsold AD&D combined 4.5 million vs 3.5 million. Basic line sales are split over several boxed sets and decades. Old D&D ballpark sold 8 million. Basic line had boxed sets sell more than your favorite edition unless its 5E or 1E. The lime split sales between Basic and 1E. Adjusted for inflation TSRs peak revenue was bigger than the entire RPG market until 2017 or 2018bwhen 5E sailed past 60 odd million. 5E sold more core books but its not X10 We also know Xanathars, Tashas, Strahd, HotDQ sold really well. Means less phbs are required to hit those $$$$ numbers WotC shared. TSR peak 1983 was 27 million adjust for inflation thats 87 million. Still a massive number but people are conjuring up moonbeams.
