[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 6263196, member: 4348"] Interesting. Sorry to go back on this, and not contending what was said or heard...but according to this post, if WotC makes a majority of the profits, you just said that they made over 2 Billion dollars last year. WotC...made over 2,000,000,000 DOLLARS. (HASBRO Made 4.08 B which is slightly down from last year, but reported as flat, US/Canada made 2.01 Billion of that, which is a bigger reduction overall than the company at large, but you could say is offset by the international sales which grew 5%). YOu are misinterpreting the call. Magic the Gathering Grew, along with several other brands including Nerf, Transformers, My Little Pony, and Girls Toys (despite many people who are against this category) which perhaps showed a much stronger showing than many other brands. Emerging markets also grew a great deal. The Game category grew as well, and Magic the Gathering did great, but other brands are also contributing to it's growth. Gaming is by no means the biggest nor even a major chunk, in my opinion. Transformers, which I think I already discussed with you previously, is very hopeful...which increased in a non-movie year, so expectations are that it will do even better when the movie is released. The Marvel sales decreased...pretty dramatically...which means that they'll probably be keeping an eye on it. Magic the Gathering and Backflip actually cost some profit as significant product investment costs were put into it...of course there were other items that were also raised the costs as well, so it's NOT just those above listed items. Magic is doing well, but to say it's now the majority of the costs, or gaming is the majority of the company, is definitely a different opinion than mine in regards to Hasbro. [/QUOTE]
