TCG Pocket players' spending, by TPC's financial year

TPC year to February 2025 (Oct 2024–Feb 2025), year to February 2026 (Mar 2025–Feb 2026)

EstimateOur estimate from company filings and app data. Use the range.

What this is

TCG Pocket players' spending, by TPC's financial year: about ¥143–155bn (¥150bn central) in the year to February 2026, and about ¥120–123bn from launch in October 2024 to February 2025.

How it’s built

  1. Start from Pocket spending in DeNA's own year to March 2026, about ¥131.5bn, built from DeNA's filed revenue from TPC. DeNA develops and runs the game.
  2. Shift to TPC's March–February year: add March 2025 (about ¥27bn) and remove March 2026 (about ¥9bn).
  3. Cross-check against the app-analytics firm AppMagic, scaled up for its steady under-reading: ¥140–170bn.

What we assumed

  • March 2026 was a third of DeNA's January–March quarter.Monthly figures are not published; an even split across the quarter is the plain choice.
  • March 2025's weight follows AppMagic's monthly pattern.It is the only monthly series available for that period.
  • Average exchange rates for each year.Spending happens through the year in many currencies.

Sanity check

The DeNA route (¥143–155bn) and the AppMagic route (¥140–170bn) overlap at ¥143–155bn.

Where it comes from

Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.

  • Reproduction DeNA route: ¥63.4–131bn
  • TPC year to February 2026 intersection: ¥143–155bn
  • TPC year to February 2026 point: ¥150bn
  1. D2R-8 (64,356 − 35,000)/0.224 = 131,071
  2. (64,356 − 48,000)/0.258 = 63,395
  3. Mar 2025 = 75.8 × 138.3/381.9 = 27.4
  4. Mar 2026 = 0.33 × 28.4 = 9.4
  5. 131.5 + 27.4 − 9.4 = 149.6 …
  6. high 137.1 + 27.4 − 9.8 = 154.8)
  7. Vendor 135.0/0.961 = 140.4
  8. 136.5/0.804 = 169.8
  9. FY2/25: 74.6 + 75.8 × 243.6/381.9 = 74.6 + 48.3 = 122.9 (flat 73.4 + 46.1 = 119.5)
