From this site which is about the fall of the series but it does talk about where it was during the Wii Era

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/14/rough-skies-may-be-ahead-for-activisions-skylanders.html

The "Skylanders" series has topped $3 billion in sales, with over 250 million toys sold to date.

I know there was a thread on here a while ago about what makes a game AAA but that game through advertising, technology used and popularity I would wager to be a AAA title, the first titles alone have the work of Patrick Warburton (Joe Swanson), Kevin Sorbo(hercules), George Takai (Sulu) and Steven Richard Horvitz (invader Zim) as well as a host of others.

I know you're talking AAA like call of duty, borderlands and Fifa things though right?

Yeah... also Im surprised Skylanders is that big.

It's more "was" that big really, the last game was a bit of a flop, since skylanders was so huge, Disney, Lego, Nintendo and a few more all tried to jump on the popularity of it and they pretty much ended up choking the toys to life brands to death or near death. Like I said the last game didn't do so good for Activision and I think there was talk of leaving the series to rest for a few years or more. Was sad to see but such is a flash in the pan success story type thing. Great games though, as an avid collector I can't recommend them enough, especially as a co op couples game.
