Tim, thanks for the clarifications and the link. My takeaway from the responses in that thread is that selling 1000 copies of an indie RPG counts as very successful, and that you only sell that many by doing other stuff that eats into your profits (e.g. going to GenCon).
I actually can't name a single creator-published game from 2006-2009 that sold 1500+ copies. Can you?
I don't disagree that it might be possible to quit one's day job off 7-10 games, but I think those games would probably qualify as big hits, not moderate successes.
