5e definitely benefited from the back to basics thing as well as the nameplate. I'm sure even 4e had sales throughout its run from people entering the TT RPG hobby.

When a new player walks into a game store looking for an organized play group they are far more likely to join DDAL simply because they know the name rather than PFS. Which is what is killing PFS and leading to the death of PF overall. Back in the days of 4e DDAL was not a factor there were no groups, at least not anywhere I heard about, so all the new players got funneled into PFS.
