WotC can, and probably should support multiple editions of D&D.

[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9369915, member: 7034611"] because I do not have them… and we know for another fact that the 5e numbers should be multiplied by about 4, and then your 1e numbers are dwarfed I am claiming they account for a quarter to a third of US sales, based in the analysis by Teos Abadia yeah, show it… not even sure it came out ahead if they did, since you are lowballing the 5e numbers by a factor of 4 and you have none that it did, yet you keep insisting on it… because selling 10 books at $5 is easier than selling 10 books at $50, and you focus on headcount over revenue for no real reason other than that it benefits you. If you compare the sales between two companies you usually do that in $, not units. it didn’t sell more despite this advantage… sure they are print publications, but they are not TTRPG books. If all that matters is that it is in print, I add MtG cards ;) it is the more common measure of sales though it does though, because TSR never made anywhere near the money WotC makes with D&D per year now, even adjusted for inflation did you look at the Bookscan numbers or are you just eyeballing it? I assume the latter you do not know either, but I’d say I have a pretty good idea that I am right given the numbers we do have guess what, I was around too, I’d say you have no idea. Most modules sold so little that combined they sold less than the 5e PHB, and for each one that sold well there is a 5e one that outsold it in your dreams, the average sales were more like 25k units [/QUOTE]
