One thing that makes a big difference, Moo2, Moo3, Alpha Centauri, Gal Civ etc are all 'retail' products as in 'on the shelves of many stores out there.' SE4 as far as I know has only been available through Online purchase. That makes a whole lot of difference in how visible a product is in the public eye. I would be willing to bet that if SE4:Gold hit retail shelves sales would dramatically increase. Heck if it was able to top $500,000 sales just through the net, I'd say it still has lots of potential.

..just another of my humble opinions..

Cheers!

P.S. I really hope that SE:5 hits not only the Online stores, but also makes it's way into the retail outlets. There's a whole new audience out there, and that means a lot of sales potential!
