Again, they're talking about PROFIT. That means REVENUE is equal (or so little less its not worth reporting) despite "softened" demand. Again, somewhere along the lines of production, something is eating into their PROFITS. Revenue is not their problem
Revenue are their GROSS sales and revenue reflects what retailers are actually ordering
If they meant revenue, they'd say revenue, not profits. These are not interchangable terms, like you dull brain thinks them to be
>AOTC was much more modestPlease. See pic? There's nothing modest about an entire half aisle dedicated toward AOTC alone, with the majority being boxes of vehicles. This is TPM levels of merch. Whereas that 1/6th section in 2018... this isn't modest either. 1/6th of shelf is a disaster, that actually shows retailers scaled back on orders
>Everyone from Lucasfilm to Hasbro acknowledged it was a fuck-up which is why they had to face the music that they overestimated. Except for the part where they literally said
>we're going back to basics - toys [...] things our fans prefer, rather than the fringe itemsHasbro made billions. It's the retailers that got stuck with too much crap. Again, and how did that affect their sales of Star Wars stuff in 00, 01, and early 02? Completely normal looking Star Wars section, that ruled the toy aisles since 1995
Again, it all links back to how Hasbro cites only profits being down, not revenue, because retailers are still ordering Star Wars shit in bulk
But we're far off the the bullshit you claim TPM was bad, which made Hasbro's revenue go up 1 billion dollars over the previous year (4.3 billion vs 3.4 billion). For context, in 2000 their revenue was 3.78 billion
Again, Hasbro's freaking out over the fact that there was no TPM in 2000 and their stock fell sharply because stockholders gonna stockholders despite being Hasbro's 2nd biggest year ever
