Record

The estimate of what The Pokémon Company earned from older and discounted console game copies in the year to February 2022 is unchanged at ¥6.5–35.9bn

TPC year to February 2022

EstimateOur estimate, unchanged; wide.

How it’s built

  1. Recomputed: 25.9m copies × ¥1,007 × 25% = ¥6.5bn at the low end; 25.9m × ¥2,309 × 60% = ¥35.9bn at the high end.
  2. No new copy count or price applies to that year; the one new per-title difference, Pokopia in Japan, falls in a later year.

What we assumed

  • The copy count, prices and 25–60% shares carry over unchanged.They come from the original estimate; whether part of those copies is a counting quirk is not evidenced either way.

Sanity check

No change is not confirmation: the band stays wide and rests on a model.

Where it comes from
