[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2711304, member: 177"] Certainly? Mr. Hague has actually said [i]nothing[/i] that tells us how large or small the minority is. He says that WW and SJG come in at #2 and #3 in sales. Let us set aside for a minute that he gives no sources for that information, and that he doesn't say if that's in dollars or units, and a number of other questions we could ask about that datum. Let's accept it as gospel. Then says the two of them make up (roughly, with wide margin of error, and again without source for the data) 50% of what WotC doesn't take. Again, let's accept that as gospel. Until we know how much of the market WotC has, this tells us nothing. If WotC has half the market, then those other two have a total of 25%, and are non-negligible. If WotC has 90% of the market, then together they only have 5%, and can probably be safely ignored when considering market positioning. Thus - Mr. Hague has yet to make us much wiser. [/QUOTE]
