[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8284044, member: 22779"] It's funny in a way. The old model of constantly needing to sell new books to keep the money coming in has totally fallen by the wayside. Let's not forget that the top D&D sellers are STILL the core books. And they are still selling unbelievably well. Good grief, WotC could sit back, not release another book for the next five years and STILL be making bank. The reason we got new editions in the past is because that edition failed. That's the hard truth. The edition came, it sold, and then it died. There has been zero evidence of anything like that in the current edition. You don't have record breaking growth, year on year, when you are not selling. The prediction is two years? Not likely. The next two year's worth of offerings could absolutely tank and we'd still not see a new edition on the horizon. When the PHB falls past the 1000 mark on Amazon, then start to think new edition. Otherwise? Why would you possibly bother? [/QUOTE]
