Will the new format of PHB1, 2, 3; MM1, 2, 3, etc. work?  If gamers accept the fact that they have to buy several monster manuals to get all the classic monsters they are familiar with, as well as several players handbooks to play all the "core" PC races and classes they are familiar with, then this model will work.  Personally, I hate the idea, but certainly there seem to be those lining up that like it - YMMV and all that.2. The DI.  If the DI is successful, the game will probably succeed for a very long time.  If the DI flops, then my guess is that D&D the RPG at WotC is done within 3 years.  (Or, at least, it will be scaled back a whole lot.)A third factor could be DDM.  Although I see DDM declining for one simple reason: product volume.  Many of those who have been buying for the last 4 years are at capacity, and don't have need for too much more (this is for those that only use DDM for RPG purposes).  Personally, I'm done with random boosters.  I'm only buying singles at this point because I really don't need another bleeping dwarf!</blockquote>
