Whether we played D&D, Shadowrun, Mutants and Masterminds, L5R, GURPS, whatever.At least now we know WOTC's sales are no where close to being their estimated 6 million D&D players world wide. Not for their DMG or PH. Plus notice their wording, they talked about their core rules sales as a "set". So you can take those hundreds of thousands sold and divide by 3. So that means there are fewer than 333,333  4E PH's  in the hands of the 6 million D&D players world wide. Less than the same of DMG's and MM's.So I was probably being generous to even suggest that close to 1/6th of WOTC's own estimated 6 million gamers own a 4E core rule book, it would be more like 1/18.Granted, there probably were not an equal number of each core book sold, but that still does not change the over all implications. Which is that its closer to being 1 in 18 of the 6 million players world wide own 4E books rather than 1 in 6.That significantly changes the perception of WOTC D&D dominance.</blockquote>
