[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6389232, member: 6716779"] I have never claimed 5E has had a bad launch, form the look of it it has been a good one. The only thig I am claiming is using Amazon reviews to claim 5E is doing better than 3E for example is idiotic. [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans]http://www.statista.com/statistics/203659/pc-penetration-per-capita-in-north-america-since-2000/[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans]http://www.statista.com/statistics/203667/pc-penetration-per-capita-in-western-europe-since-2000/[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Open Sans][URL]http://www.statista.com/statistics/203677/global-pc-penetration-per-capita-since-2000/[/URL] PC use has more or less doubled or tripled in most countries since 2000. Using that logic all things being relative 5E would need to have 2-3 times the reviews of 3E just to be in the same ball park. If they have sold more than 3.0 at 300k in the 1st month that is impressive but we don't know what the actual figures are. Going by the price of the PHB I supsect it is a smaller print run than 3.0 as the huge print run for 3.0 was what let them sell the book at $20 on release or $30 bucks these days instead of $50.
