If not, why do you keep bringing it up as if there is a dispute there?Again, I never said majority.  I said WOTC is the largest part of gaming.  Of the various parts that make up gaming, WOTC is the biggest.  I am not sure why I have to keep re-phrasing this sentence to say the same thing in a different way, but you're getting on my nerves with this strawmanning.  Nothing in Gaming is a majority, and no section of Hasbro is a majority.  But there is a plurality of Hasbro between the four (Gaming), and there is a plurality of Gaming (WOTC).  What is unclear about that, that you keep using the word majority?Transformers didn't grow, but I am not sure why you are so focused on this point.  Who cares? Why is it relevant to this conversation?  Regardless, Boys Toys is no longer better than Gaming in terms of revenue, and we both seem to agree on that point, so lets move on.Yes LETS DO THAT. PLEASE.Wait, you JUST said lets not mince words, and then you did just that.Boys Toys is not a brand, it's a section of Hasbro composed of various brands.WOTC is a brand, a part of a section of Hasbro (Gaming).So, if we're not mincing words, you'd be comparing the plurality brand of Boys Toys against the plurality brand of Gaming (which is WOTC), and then you'd have an apples to apples comparison.Or, you'd compare Boys Toys (a section) to Gaming (a section) and that would be apples to apples comparison.But Boys Toys to WOTC is not an apples to apples comparison.  It is, however, mincing words.  Marvel toys to WOTC would make sense.  Transformers toys to WOTC would make sense.  My Little Pony to WOTC would make sense.   Yeah that's because one is a section and the other is a brand within a section and you're comparing two different things.  Of the Brands within Hasbro, I think WOTC brings in the most revenue.  If you can name a brand in Hasbro that brings in more revenue (and 'Boys Toys' isn't a brand, but Marvel is a brand within 'Boys Toys').</blockquote>
