[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5536242, member: 59082"] AuldGrump, don't forget that WotC's publication output has been rather light over the last eight months - which is almost three Quarters. Sure, there was Essentials, but those sales figures are more of a long-term thing anyways, it being an evergreen product line. But between August of 2010 and April of 2011 there was no real new material, which may have hurt 4E's sales overall. Speaking for myself, during that period I bought three Essentials products ([I]Rules Compendium, Heroes of the Fallen Lands, [/I]and [I]Monster Vault) [/I]and a bunch of Pathfinder stuff - a few Chronicles, the new world book, and the [I]GameMastery Guide - [/I]so overall about 50-50[I]. [/I]I may or may not have bought all that Pathfinder stuff if 4E's schedule had been more full, but the point is that my spending became [I]relatively [/I]more skewed towards Paizo than WotC. During the Quarter before (summer) the ratio was probably more like 80-20 or 70-30 towards WotC. [/QUOTE]
