$2.1bn 2015

ReportedA trade-ranking figure relayed by press.

What this is

Retail sales of licensed Pokémon products in 2015 as reported from License Global’s ranking: $2.1 billion, rank 29.

How it’s built

  1. Reported by Siliconera, a games news site: “The Pokémon Company at #29 with $2.1 billion in total retail sales of licensed products”.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

The list of what it includes (games, cards, anime) is Siliconera’s wording, not the ranking’s. Only slightly up on 2014’s $2bn.

Where it comes from

The line in the source

The Pokémon Company at #29 with $2.1 billion in total retail sales of licensed products, including the video games, trading card game, anime, and pretty much all-things Pokémon.
