[QUOTE="smiteworks, post: 7693967, member: 87795"] Adventures almost never outsell core books. If they do, it is just for a very brief period immediately after release. It is normally the case that player focused core items sell the most, followed by DM general campaign items and then adventures. In the past, some publishers mistakenly looked just at the individual product sales and concluded that it didn't make sense to make adventures, but then they overlooked how the adventures showed continued support for the system and spurred additional sales of the core books. I imagine that sales of D&D is also heavily influenced by Amazon, depending on the frequency of when books were released. It's just a guess, but I'm guessing that a new customer who is looking to buy 3 books at once may be more likely to buy those through Amazon at a discount rather than through a local retail shop; whereas, a single release such as the Sword Coast Adventurer Guide is more easily purchased from a local retailer since the price difference for a single book makes it more appealing to eat the cost difference to support your local shop.
