Because, regardless of how many books he has on his shelf, a cool new product is going to turn his head. This month, that cool new product might be a WotC supplement. Next month, an adventure from a 3rd-party publisher. And sometime down the road, it might be a new edition of the PHB. And, frankly, of all the cool new RPG products you can imagine, what's more likely to get a gamer's blood pumping than a new edition of the PHB? The idea that a backlog of existing RPG product is a stumbling block to adoption of a new D&D edition is a straw-man argument. Gamers don't make buying decisions based on what they currently own. They make buying decisions based on how intriguing a new product is. And you can't beat a new edition of D&D for intriguing. [/QUOTE]
