I think we will NOT see any hard numbers for how various products do versus each other, any more than we will see numbers on total sales or anything that statistically describes the average merchant. Renderosity believes these data would be used by their competitors and thus prefers to keep them confidential. I am afraid we will have to make do with indirect and anectodal information. Should note the current merchant of the month is a character maker -- not texture, not garter belts. One thing I would like very much, if it were at all possible, is if the algorithm that goes into selecting the "Hot 20" was explained. I find it amusing but pointless to study it, lacking any idea of what causes an item to be selected. "Most Popular" seems a little more obvious but I am still unsure whether that is derived from prompt or lifetime sales.
