Starfinder outpaced Pathfinder! Wow!
You heard it had a better Alexa rank. Not the same thing at all.![]()
Fastest moving product for Paizo ever at Gen Con 2017. I suspect you'll find it's just a blip - normally the new hotness hits positions #4 and #5 for a quarter then drops off, leaving #1-3 as D&D, PF, and SW. Because it's Paizo, this time it hit position #2. I'm willing to bet anything Pathfinder will be back at #2 next time -- but we'll see!
Yeah. Paizo's CEO, Lisa Stevens, knew before ICv2 released the info that PF had out sold D&D as early as 2009 if I remember correctly. She had a blog post about it that I'm way to lazy to search cause it won't mean anything anyway.Well, if you did not depend on just Icv2 lists and Amazon ratings and could actually get sales figures for WotC D&D vs Paizo Pathfinder en Starfinder... Paizo does a TON of direct sales, WotC does very, very little. ICv2 only does FLGS and doesn't ask for hard numbers, just gut feeling... And seeing how many fanboys are actually running FLGS, it's such an undependable chart!

And I was a bit jesting in my original post. StarDungeons and StarDragons?
Your local mileage will vary. I think starfinder is unquestionably a huge success.
Isn't it just because of pricing? Some stores in my area charge literally twice the price you can get books for online. If anything, I'm surprised they sell any copies at all.I'm a little surprised at this since the first and only copy of Starfinder my local store ordered in is still sitting on the shelves.
