March 17, 2008: An Exercise In Comparisons

After two days of sales, GURPS Characters had sold 91 copies via e23. After a similar time, also through e23, GURPS Campaigns had only sold 77.

Off the top of my head, that ratio of Characters to Campaigns seems higher than the print books' ratio for their first couple of months. I'll need to double check, but I don't need confirmation to begin speculation.

Does e23 have a high GM population? Has word of Campaigns' utility spread far enough and wide enough to generate a higher rate of player sales?
