Looks like a premature statement. 2012 looks like Pokemon did about 1.6 billion between games and liscensing. This year can only be expected to grow much more, thanks to X-Y offering plenty of brand new liscensing oppurtunities. With the Pokemon trading cards still be an industry leader in the TCG market. http://www.licensemag.com/license-global/top-150-global-licensors |
you should also also consider that in 1995 to 2005... only 3 gens (main series) was released... and 2013 up to early 2014 would have one gen on its belt... so the numbers will be more inflated this year compare to the average (even though pokemon is not on it's peak.)
