[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9369514, member: 7034611"] sure, give me those numbers and I need more than PHB and DMG alone to beat 1e, but it remains beat. We excluded magazines, I see no reason to include them, apples and oranges. Alternatively I add digital sales and DMsGuild as my lemon to the mix ;) You already give yourself a bit of an advantage because you have so many 32 page modules while 5e has fewer ones, but in the 200-300 page range… so we could also compare $ (adjusted for inflation) instead of headcount, pretty sure you do not want that ;) no idea if that is 80%, I doubt it is even 50%… no idea how much is missing for 1e, all of Dark Sun sold like 250k units, so a third of the PHB for 2e, I am not expecting the 1e adventures to fare much better, between the 5e core and expanded core that is probably covered as well, but since we have no numbers that is harder to show oh, so now 5e has to outsell BECMI and 1e combined? It might have done so, not sure, but that was not the initial argument. It probably has outsold 1e and 2e combined though ;) [/QUOTE]
