If all you have is product positions, it's possible both D&D and Pathfinder had identical changes in sales, with other products causing the different changes in positions. The second point doesn't necessarily mean anything.Secondly, are you claiming that buyers of a product sold in Target and shown on Stranger Things has the same loyalty to game stores as buyers of a product known to mainly people who frequent game stores? Quantitative differences induce qualitative differences; niche products sell in different ways than mainstream ones.Not to mention that sales trends have been different in the two products, and that Paizo's releases over the last month haven't included major volumes. Of all the lines, the Pathfinder Adventure Path line seems likely to be the most subscriber bound, so the fact they didn't release any books in the other lines wouldn't help.Lastly, Paizo releases in PDF and most of their rules material is posted online for free. At a point when most physical gaming is shutting down, naturally physical sales of D&D are going to go on higher than Pathfinder sales.</blockquote>
