[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8981538, member: 22779"] And, [USER=23751]@Maxperson[/USER], if it's older gamers driving sales for WotC, then who do you think are buying the Core 3? After all, the Core 3, especially the PHB, have been in the top 100 on Amazon routinely for the past 8 years. No supplement comes even remotely close to those levels of sales. Now, I would assume that it's mostly new gamers who buy the Core 3. Some repeat sales, sure, but, most likely it's new gamers. And new gamers are almost always younger than gamers who've been playing for 6+ years. So, if you think that older gamers, that 75% of your argument, are driving sales, why aren't supplements selling far, far better than they are? If 75% of gamers, gamers who are mostly experienced gamers, are the ones with all the buying power and all the disposable income to spend on D&D, why isn't that reflected in sales? Shouldn't supplements and adventures, whatever the latest book is, be selling FAR more than the Core 3? Other than a couple of months on release when a new supplement sells the most, no supplement comes even remotely close to selling more than the Core 3. So, who's buying all these PHB's? [/QUOTE]
