Two days ago I went to NYC, and as part of any trip down there I made a visit to the Compleat Strategist, IMHO the world's best gaming store. Anyhow, for those unfamiliar with it, they generally have the D&D/D20/Clone RPG stuff on two end caps between aisles, where most everything displayed just showing the spines of books.. I was shocked to see that they created a huge area apart from the end caps for Pathfinder stuff. Not only did PF have more shelf space than all other D&D/D20/Clone stuff combined, they were arranged nicely, where it wasn't just the spines showing like in the D&D section.
In a small store in Manhattan where every square inch of space counts, they decided to devote a massive section, relatively speaking, to PF stuff. This may be unscientific, but I tend to think of that as a fairly good indicator of how well PF is selling compared to the rest of the D&D/D20/Clone stuff.

I don't find this shocking at all, Joe. While Pathfinder isn't my go-to game, I have played a session or two of it. The Pathfinder people have really got their shit together with not only a proven system that people obviously enjoy playing, but a presentation that is top notch professional too. That's meat AND potatoes for both buyers and sellers.
Personally, I prefer earlier D&D editions, but for anyone looking to game for gaming's sake; Pathfinder does the job very well.
I was visiting The Sentry Box (the World's second-best gaming store) yesterday, and Gord, the owner, told me that PF is kicking the crap out of 4E at his store.
Pathfinder is stomping 4E in texas
and
War Machine is outselling WarHammer in my area of the country
Meh, it's old news that PF has been doing better than 4e for awhile now and this same story goes for just about every gaming store.
Also, the owner of CS is a dick and they dont have much in the way of actual gaming at the store. Definitely not the "best" game store in the world :p
"dont have much in the way of actual gaming at the store"
At Manhattan rates for square footage, that should not be a surprise.
