>They basically have to hope one of their new series finds an audience and then once they do they need to keep hold of it by just continuing with that specific universe.
No, this is actual cancer. Why do you think each mainline pokemon game has to introduce new regions and mechanics? Or why the Legends series even exists. This even applies to the Ashnime where they had to keep introducing new elements to each season before eventually ending it and starting with a whole new protagonist and scenario.
The only consistency needed for Digimon is in the video games. The anime and manga being different allow for greater diversity in terms of plot and scenario and doing otherwise severely limits the type of stories you can tell, only the basics of human + digimon relationship = growth is needed.
Literally no other metafranchise like Gundam or Kamen Rider sticks with the same scenario or universe over and over as that is actual stagnation.
