What if 3.5 and 4E split the market?

[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 3818380, member: 2804"] This is certainly an interesting discussion, but I think a lot of you are way off base. Don't mistake the frequent postings of a few disgruntled gamers for some vast grassroots movement against 4e. Vocal message board critics have a way of sounding like they represent some huge constiuency. In reality I would say less than 30 people are responsible for 80% of all negative 4e posts both here and on WotC's forum. I guarantee that 4e will be profitable for WotC, and there will be no market split. When 4e comes out, it will sell very well. By the end of its first year of release, I expect that sales of 3.5 compatible products will be less than 5% of the RPG market, and by the end of the second year of release, there will be no 3.5 sales outside of the occasional PDF publisher catering to a small niche market of holdouts.
