Buoyed by some sales leading to stronger performance in PDFs than usual (at least for some titles), Q1 actually did pretty well by the quantity tallies, which are what I share here. Reality is we did see a bit of a fall off in actual dollar revenue - sale prices are a part of ( Read more... )

So we’re done with the second quarter of 2010. Somewhere past the middle of this month I’ll cough up some real numbers on our sales overall for you data-hounds to chew on. But first, a preamble.

Back at the beginning of the Dresden Files RPG preorder in April, I decided to track ( Read more... )
