The WotC bit:

Revenue from nonlicensed trading card games increased, but revenue from licensed trading card games including Pokemon were down.

Translation: Magic sold stronger than before, but Star Wars and Pokemon sold less (in a combined sort of way).

Cheers!

Well, they don't have to worry about Pokemon since Nintendo USA decided to take over that venture. (ROTFL!)

Perhaps they should try and see why Star Wars TCG went wrong ... aside from the fact that older TCG fans don't want nothing to do with the Wizards' version.

But enough of TCG ... I hate them anyway. It's Wizards' RPG product I'm more concerned about.

There is a round about mention of WotC which is a division of the games division.

WotC to hasbro is a division of a division - very small portion indead.
