[QUOTE="mamba, post: 8980697, member: 7034611"] on average, sure, as I already said these are not narrowly defined bands that everyone is in but wide bands that vary a lot from person to person of course they do prioritize, you are now making my argument for me (see a few posts up…) it does not have to be ‘over everything else’ when you have $2400 to spend and everything D&D costs $200 no, I said they would be thrilled if [B]everyone[/B] did. Yes, $30 buys you a book on Amazon, just not in the first month of release. The digital version never costs more though and the profit margin is better for WotC… Heck, I got books for <= $20 there Thanks, and I even had a reason for it which I explained (and repeated here already). To summarize - Teens buy what they prefer, because you chose to go with all their expenses there is really nothing else to it - the percentages are wide bands, not every teen will spend exactly that on each category, these are averages that vary widely - anyone into D&D can easily buy everything D&D with the money they have for one month, in other words it costs less than 10% of their disposable income ($200 vs $2400), and they still have plenty of money to spare for the rest - so it all is a matter of what you prefer to spend money on, as I already said, and the fact that the D&D stuff is less than 10% of their income (and about 5% if they time it right / are cheap about it) means that those who do prioritize it can easily afford to (which would not be true if everything D&D in a year were, say, 50% of their income) So yeah, I see these statistics as backing my point [/QUOTE]
