RE: low Saipan sales numbers...
I'm coming to the party late, and have little (ok, no...) contact with AP, so take this for what it's worth, but I wonder about the viability of laser printing such a large game. I have heard, and maybe J6S can correct me, that laser printing a sheet is much more expensive than die cutting. EFD retails for $79, KSF for $75. Same number of counters... Saipan has fewer counters (just shy of 500), but is $15 cheaper than EFD.
From a numbers/dollars aspect, I worry that AP is selling each game at a loss but hoping to make it up in volume. If nothing else, it's clear that they're working on paper-thin margins...
Oh, and 300 copies in less than a couple months to me would be a very good sales rate... especially for a "troubled" company like AP
