The difference is what the Users choose to use and support. Poser has always had Figures, it is not their fault people chose to stick to another one. Just about every version has had new Figures. When a new Figure does come out and starts to take off, it will have everything to do with the Users. They will either choose to support

Sorry, but this is simply not true.  Figure acceptance STARTS with the vendors, not the customers. There's only ONE reason V4 has maintained her supremacy so far - vendors REFUSE to give her up.

USERS can't affect a thing when there are no products produced to do so with.

And, now, at RO, you can just forget ANY figures but Genesis.  For once, the V4 vendors are getting a taste of what it's like to be buried by page after page after page after page of another figure consuming the marketplace.

Vendors brought this on themselves by refusing to accept that the V4 market was saturated and moving on to something better. 

So here we are.
