From the initial 2e sale bump that was the second best selling year in all of AD&D it looks an awful lot like a lot of 1e people who were still with the game got the 2e PH, a significant bump over the number of annual new sales of AD&D in the prior 4-5 year period. It is possible there were a big set of entirely new players attracted by the marketing for the new edition, but my bet would be on 1e players picking up the 2e stuff for that all time silver medal AD&D annual sale year.</p></blockquote><p></p>
