Quote - I don't think that necessarily follows. V5 is merely a Genesis body morph that Daz has decided to name "V5." Even if Daz released its V5 morph sales figures, you can't compare it to anything because it is confined to the DS4 / Genesis market. Within that market I'm sure the sell-through rate is pretty high. Like sales of Honda Civic accessories are high among Honda Civic owners.  

V4 took a while to replace V3, so it's not the end of the line for V4 yet just because a new figure has been released. Although many factors go into people buying a product, vendors can do a quick gauge of how a genesis character did over a gen 4. Most of our characters include both Gen4 and Genesis characters, plus textures for each so both Poser and DS3 users can use the product in addition to DS4. We released our V5 last month to see how it would see how it would sell and during the intro period it was our 2nd highest selling product, right after our Nigel for M4/Genesis. She pretty much blew away our Gen 4 stuff and we didn't have to do double work for Gen4/Genesis product. So if whatever we do for M5 has the same result, although we'll still do combo products, we don't really have to because I don't see the gloom and doom that people are talking about; we just don't have as many as we would like because everything isn't working in Poser... but it's slowly getting there.
