What this is
The split of Pokémon's lifetime sales between Japan and the rest of the world as of March 2015: 45% Japan, 55% overseas, of a lifetime total over ¥4.4 trillion.
How it’s built
- Read from the data page on The Pokémon Company's Japanese corporate site, in an archived copy from September 2015.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
This covers lifetime retail sales of all Pokémon products, not cards. It is the only Japan-versus-overseas split the company has published, and it was dropped after 2017.
