The Elder Scrolls edit

With the recent ESO $2 billion figure announcement [1] was wondering can we put the series on the list. We know Skyrim did $650 million [2]

2.6B is enough to be listed. My only concern is the ESO statement is "we are about to cross". -- ferret (talk) 14:21, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
The original article is this/slide from CDC. [3]. Maybe we should wait for another bigger figure? Timur9008 (talk) 14:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think it's beyond any reasonable doubt that "nearly 2 billion" must be at least 1.5 billion. That would still be 2.15b and enough for the list. -- ferret (talk) 14:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
ok I went ahead and added The Elder Scrolls to the list. I forgot there is also blades [4] Timur9008 (talk) 15:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Digimon edit

Where is Digimon in the list? Sources says that the franchise have a total revenue of 6.36 billion estimated, from licensed merchandise, digital pets, manga & comic sales, anime box office, console games and home entertainment. 151.28.216.22 (talk) 00:32, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fandom is not a reliable source. If you check the edit logs for that page [5] it copies the previous of this article word to word [6] (which had the inflated figures was almost all WP:OR that done by an editor who is now banned) Timur9008 (talk) 15:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
So, what do you think is the total revenue for a brand like Digimon? Do you think it produced less than a Yo-kai Watch (which is in the rank), which is a newer series and it has already failed to take root in America?
I would like to remind you that Digimon is a brand of a big company like Bandai born in 1997, with a worldwide success which still continues today with the manga, anime, videogames, virtual pets, trading card games and a lot of merchandise stores in Japan.
The Anime series in Japan is Toei Animation most watched one after One Piece and Dragon Ball:

Games like the first Digimon Word of 1999 or the most recente Cyber Sleuth have sold millions of copies worldwide; the Digital Monster virtual pet alone sold over 24 million dollars (but the source of this is from 2005, so he has done much more since that date).
I ask you please to do more research on the brand, because it is definitely a popular media franchise that has made billions in total revenue from 1997 to now and should be in the rankings. 151.28.216.22 (talk) 17:28, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

About Evangelion edit

Seems it went way down cause pachinko revenue was cut. But I don't see why it wouldn't count. 2A02:8071:67C0:4C40:7AA7:6607:4E95:EEB0 (talk) 05:18, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I believe pachinko revenue is counted under retail sales which we don't have numbers for. Timur9008 (talk) 15:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
