Kek. Derek Padula is a guy who has written for Forbes, Crunchyroll, and CNET about anime. He's also authored multiple Dragon Ball books and is one of the most researched and documented DB historians.

I'd take what he says any of the week over what some third world Mexican says using a debunked Wikipedia revision, lmao.

The numbers in the graphic match what serious industry breakdowns have shown for years
>Bandai’s financial reports regularly show DB as one of their top IPs pulling in billions of yen per year in merch alone
>Box office ($817M) matches publicly known DBZ and DBS movie totals
>$6B+ in game revenue is consistent with decades of console releases and mobile games (Dokkan Battle and Legends are whales).
$25B+ total revenue is conservative, if anything.

But you don't know anything about business much less math do you, monkey? No, of course you don't. Because you're a Mexican.

>it's a rising trendline that caps at 150k preanime, as the intial anon stated. That 150k first month was reached 10 months before the anime aired.
That's not what was originally claimed. The original false claim was
>DS was doing 150k/month per volume pre-anime
Which implies multiple volumes, consistently, were selling 150k in their debut month. That's objectively false
>vols 1-5? nowhere near it
>vols 6-9? crawled toward it across multiple weeks
>only volumes 11-14 started sniffing 150k within 4 weeks and even those didn't do it immediately
So no, there wasn't a sustained 150k/mo 'catalog.' It was an upward slope with a delayed payoff. That's not goalpost moving, that’s clarifying a lie with a timeline.

Also, I also never said 'DS volumes never hit 150k', I said it was not consistent pre-anime and was not across all volumes. The big numbers only arrived in the final stretch, just before the anime aired. That's called accuracy, not a strawman or a goalpost shift. You're trying to retroactively rewrite the context of your own argument, which is what you do when you get out-argued and panic.

Cope harder, loser.
