Question. Where are you from? Because in America Saturday morning cartoons lead to record breaking sales of Toys and videogames alike. 

You got figures to back that up? More specifically, you got figures to back up the idea that game cartoons helped increase game sales? The only game which certainly had a postitive effect from the cartoon was pokemon, but the cartoon came before the game, not the other way around.


Where are you from? Again.

Why does it matter?  It doesn't; it's an ad hominem and therefore a fallacy. Get back on topic. 

I'm not judging you nor trying to throw off your point, therefore it's not ad hominem. I am inquiring as to cultural televised programing. I don't know whether you're in another country and got the shows or not and how it affected your region. In America Saturday Morning Cartoons boosted toy and videogame sales. Saturday morning cartoons thrived for two decades and was over by 2000 which makes about twelve years now.


Do you have any proof for your claim though? I don't doubt it helped sales, but by how much? A significant amount? I doubt it; I think it probably helped with player retention as well as networks paying for the cartoons. Also you are forgetting massive problems with current game titles: the age restrictions. Why have a God of War cartoon when you have to be over 18 to buy it?
