What this is
The split of Pokémon's lifetime sales between Japan and the rest of the world as of March 2017: 35% Japan, 65% overseas, of a lifetime total over ¥6 trillion.
How it’s built
- Read from the data page on The Pokémon Company's Japanese corporate site, in an archived copy from November 2017.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
This covers lifetime sales of all Pokémon products, not cards, so it cannot be used as Japan's share of cards. Overseas rose from 55% two years earlier.
