[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6943780, member: 6716779"] The numbers are out there via Dancey and Erik Mona. 3.0 500k+ 3.5 250k-350k. Mearls also said 5E has outsold them but not added together (Dancey has claimed 3E sold 1 million+ combined). So depending on who you believe wither way 3.0 outsold 3.5 by a lot and 3.5 outsold Pathfinder which outsold 4E. 3.5 is seen as the definitive version of 3.x I suppose but its not the best selling one (I like it better than 3.0) It also contributed to the crash of 2004, 4E came up 2005 and design started 2006. So depending on who you bevel (Dancey/Mona) 3.0 sold anywhere from 50-100% more than 3.5 assuming the numbers are somewhere in the ball park. Dancey's post is over at the GitP forums, Eriks were at a presentation out east in 2014 before 5E landed IIRC and are a bit lower (15% IIRC) than Dancey's but he used the 500k+ and 250k-350k estimates range so Danceys higher numbers are plausible I suppose its not like they are 50% or more than Monas. And then you have Mearls claiming 5E has outsold them which would put some context to it so I think the numbers are believable at least in a "in the ballpark" range. We know 3.0 sold very well for example better than 3.5 just not the exact numbers unless those numbers are right. We do not know 4E's exact numbers either (there are estimates around) but since they started talking about 5E in 2010 and we know the Paizo growth rate, size of the RPG market etc none of these figures contradict each other or are unbelievable.
