[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5362279, member: 22779"] In my mind, the entire problem with GMS's idea is that we have no idea how much the 5th place guy sold any other quarter. I'm not going to bother looking up the actual number (I'm just too lazy) but let's say that 5th place sold 5000 units. Ok, now, D&D traditionally takes up about 80% of the market. Let's split it evenly between Pathfinder and 4e, cos, AFAIC, it's still D&D. So, 80% to the top two, with the remaining 20% for everyone else. Let's make some really convenient assumptions and split that evenly - the remaining three on the top 5 list and an even share for everyone else. So, that puts 5% with 5000 units. That makes 80000 units for the top two. Is that really bad for a quarter for RPG products? Doesn't sound too bad to me. 40k a piece is not a bad quarter at all. [/QUOTE]
