Message: <blockquote data-quote="Treebore" data-source="post: 3817705" data-attributes="member: 10177">What is the size of the D&D consumer base? At least 1 million in the USA, right? 4% is 40,000. What was Dungeon and Dragons monthly circulation for PAizo? 40,000. So if Paizo did stay 3E, and only got a loyal base of 40,000 customers, they would be happy.However I don't think numbers are going to be that low. Why? Because 3E is not a broken system like 1E and 2E were considered to be. Until the announcement of 4E I only heard how wonderful and awesome 3E is.So 4E better? I doubt it. Different? Yes. Better? only if you prefer the differences. 3E still does the job just fine for many people, so why buy into a new system when the old one isn't broke? Especially when you don't know if the new one isn't going to be a lemon?Yeah, I am sure the "New Car" mentality will get a significant number of people to switch, but I don't think its going to be the huge switch seen with previous editions.Like you said, neither one of us really knows anything for sure, so we will have to wait and see.</blockquote>
