Sure, some of them may buy the pdfs of the books and use them, but most would probably welcome an updated 5E version.Then again, like others have said, new gamers may love the other setting books so much, and the fact the Realms is so massive and has so much to cover, that it may not be considered a good enough seller to ever publish a Campaign Guide again. I hate to say it, but it is mostly us old-timers who appreciate the huge 300-400+ page books. In this age of social media and shorter attention spans and 15 minutes of fame crap, a book in the 150-250 page length is probably more appealing to newer, younger gamers.As for boxed sets, this is the new WotC, not the old TSR, so unless it is something that will appeal to a wide range of players, or is requested the way Target did, it will probably not be considered a good enough moneymaker to get put out. I think after almost 6 years that we can tell 5E is not the niche product market edition that some previous editions were.</blockquote>
