>mogged DB (and everything else) in sales
>DB
Carried by god-tier manga, influenced an entire generation and the next generation that came after it
Made $30 billion by 2004
Estimated $45-$50 billion today in 2025 making it a top 3 franchise right behind Pokemon and Hello Kitty and the only shounen franchise on that list
Gets an amusement park in Saudi Arabia
Manga sold 350 million copies in 2008 and sales only increased over the years, has sold over 450 million copies and should be around 495 million right now (Wikipedia concedes that btw) meaning = 10.71M per vols (lowball) or 11.78M (highball), manga sales are 50% overseas and 60% Japan
>DS
Carried by anime, influenced nothing
Made a measly $9 billion which all came from the anime and movie exploding, flatlined since then
Only Japan cares about it, the rest of the world is busy watching DB
Manga sold 200 million in 2022 and only made 20 million 3 years later, sales are 90% Japan and 10% overseas
Will be memoryholed the second the anime ends, no different from other popular slops like SnK and JJK
