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)

 * Fandom is not a reliable source. If you check the edit logs for that page it copies the previous of this article word to word  (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)
 * 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)

About Evangelion
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)


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

List makes no sense. No Criteria is listed.
Why is Pokemon one category? But thing's like Spider-man and the Avengers are seperated. I mean Batman is seperate from DC, when he is part of it.

Would something like Batman v.. Superman count as Superman, Batman or DCEU.

Disney Princesses is somehow seperated from the Little Mermaid? 96.244.39.168 (talk) 17:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It also double dips for things like Pokemon. Example: It sites a source that indicates Pokemon has over 11 billon in merchandise sales AND over 6.5 billion in Videogame sales sales. But the source of the 11 billion, includes video game sales in the number.
 * The list reads like some Pokemon fan trying to make it look like his hobby is the most successful of all time. It is a bad list and whoever made it should feel bad. 96.244.39.168 (talk) 18:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Batman is its own thing per the $16 billion retail sales number which is directly from Warner Bros. Consumer Products division..
 * Same thing with Pokémon and Disney Princesses per their sources. Pokémon Mobile games isn't retail sales hence it listed seperatly. (License Global retai reports for The Pokémon Company includes stuff like Home entertainment).
 * For the record I'm not a Pokémon fan. The point of the list was to list Ancillary revenue aka none Box office revenue. Timur9008 (talk) 07:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
