[QUOTE="Bluenose, post: 6243721, member: 49017"] Evil Hat have published sales figures before, though I don't think yet for Fate Core. But they told us how many copies of the Dresden Files RPG they printed, and that they had to have a reprint three months later. If IcV2 is in any way reliable, those 10,000 items got Dresden Files into 5th place in their RPG sale chart. Given that the Fate Core Kickstarter actually exceeded those numbers, I think we can assume that it is also selling rather well. Other companies seem less inclined to put sales numbers out, and I'm not prepared to put in the money to get a look at the Bookscan data - which anyway would cover few of the games in question. Now this next bit is more speculative, but Fate Core had 10,103 backers; Numenara had 4,568; a ratio of 2.2 to 1. The Hot games list has them at 189 and 109, 1.7 to 1. I see little reason not to assume that there's about a 2 to 1 ratio of interest/play of Fate to Numenera; or to think that probably doesn't extend to purchases too. [/QUOTE]
