[QUOTE="turkeygiant, post: 7655883, member: 6787083"] Haha, I mean sales have a part to play, but a really accurate measure would consider brick and mortar sales, plus direct/amazon/drivethrurpg sales, and then balancing that against polling on what games people are actually sitting at the table and playing (which frankly should be the most heavily weighted factor in determining popularity). The sales numbers you use are never going to perfectly match up what people are actually playing, Just because 4e slowed down on their sales didn't mean that people suddenly stopped playing D&D, hell people still play D&D with editions that have been out of print for decades. I'm sure your analysis is pretty good for the sales numbers, but it shouldn't necessarily be confused as an accurate representation of how popular and embraced the systems are. I would love to see a Poll: What rpg systems and editions have you played in the last year, with the option to pick more than one because my group has played at least three. [/QUOTE]
