The thing is, as long as we stick with generalities, I think we're basically in agreement - 5e is doing exceptionally well. Once we get to a specific sales figure, though, the only people who have the actual data are WotC, and they're not for sharing (and I can't fault them for that). Plus, it's also worth noting that WotC haven't claimed they made those sales - they said they wanted to exceed that figure, which is a slightly different thing.Again, I'm afraid that's a relative measure. There are only two Pathfinder books that I would expect have beaten 100k: the Core Rulebook and the first Bestiary. (I may, of course, be wrong about that - in either direction.)Second monster manuals, certainly. I doubt anyone would claim MM5 as one of the top sellers for D&D 3e, or Bestiary 5 for Pathfinder. I'm sure they do well enough... but in the low tens rather than the low hundreds of thousands.Sure. Again, I don't doubt 5e is doing exceptionally well. Indeed, I wouldn't have any great trouble believing that they'd sold a million PHBs by now. It's the other end of the scale I'm sceptical of - their weakest selling book has really sold more copies than just about any supplement since the 80s?</blockquote>
