Missing some of LP kids + Strict parents on moral values. In fact, many parents does not allow kids to stay late and they do not themselves stay late. Other factors, are diverse release that is breaking the traffic to Fuji like VOD in Amazon Prime (Currently, the biggest VOD service in Japan) while other opted for later watch like Tokyo MX, BS12 because many likes to watch in Saturday late night because they can rest on Sunday. While, on disadvantages in Sunday release, some people finds difficult as Monday is a work day. Overall, it's still a decent rating. Ratings will increase from Dec 5 as main arc (Entertainment District) will start from December 5.

Yeah I believe a lot of people already knew about the 7 episode backfill of Mugen Train, thus there might be a surge in ratings from Episode 8.

Actually, a group of people like anime streaming at TOKYO MX while some might watch later due to various viewing method. Overall, it has reduced the traffic which was on single channel. I agree with rating surge from Episode 8 (that is something that I have already mentioned) as it the main cour of season 2.

Even though highly unlikely it might be the case where the audience are just getting used to the timing since its first episode and it aired quite late. Maybe second episode might have additional curiosity, we'll see.

The game contain spoilers. Now, official are requesting to turn off music and stop a posting "Mugen Train" fights in YouTube as an humble request so that Season 2 will not be affected.

Unfortunately it's not available for Switch (at least right now), so sales won't be able to go that high in Japan. The Switch has a massive user base, having sold around 22 million consoles in Japan so far.

The Switch has had something like 20 games sell over 1 million copies in Japan, of which around half a dozen titles have sold over 4 million now (including one at nearly 7 million now). There's probably up to 50 games that have sold close to/over 500,000 copies, too. (Note: These are physical figures only!)

The PS4 only had/has, I think, 2 (3?) games that sold over 1 million copies, and I don't believe any of them got to 2 million.

Not meaning to turn this into a silly console war discussion, but like 80-90% of video game software sales have been on the Switch over the past 3-4 years in Japan. Not releasing Demon Slayer on it is a bizarre decision. I feel like Sony (which owns Aniplex and PlayStation) may be one of the reasons?

This article was posted today, which obviously has not counted the release of the game yet.
https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/461664
From this article, the franchise has market value of 1 Trillion Yen or around $USD 8,74 billion.

Yeah probably it's a Sony decision, anyway i was really curious to see how much the game was able to sell despite not being available in the biggest console in Japan

It's $874M not $8.74B



That makes a lot of more sense, still good I guess,?

Until December 2020, it was ¥270 billion, so it is better

¥1 trillion yen is roughly $8.75 BILLION (USD) with the average exchange rate this week. The number is so monstrous, the USD figure can change by tens of millions depending on the exchange rate at any time of the day, really.

And that's utterly insane to earn in a single year. It's no wonder how it managed to boost the Japanese economy now.

It's such a immense amount of money that I find it utterly unbelievable that only one series earned that much and the majority of this in only the last 2 years and half

Edit: Nevermind I was thinking of a Billion as a Million of Millions but I remembered that in English it's a just a thousand of millions wich is still impressive but I was like ¡¡¡It make more than the entire japanese GDP in 2020!!!!

It's really a great improvement. Do we still have a chance of outgrossing Pokemon Franchise.

Importantly, 1 trillion Yen has not included the sales of the game Hinokami Chronicles yet :funny: :funny: :funny: . If anyone can find the sales, please share.

I am assuming $50M sales at OW. And $150-200M in complete run. BTW, what are region that has got the game because I have a strong believe that 90% of the revenue, will come from Japan and China, 5% from US and 5% from rest of the world (depending on the popularity of the manga and anime)

MSFK, is 1 trillion yen one year sales (2020) or until today?
Because Crunchyroll title says : Toyo Keizai: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’s 2020 Economic Impact Was 1 Trillion Yen

Daryl Harding has written articles for Crunchyroll for years, so I don't think he mistranslated the original article. Additionally, this Twitter account independently summarized the result: https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/14 ... 55137?s=20. Hence, I think the original article stated only 2020.
The key is from Toyo Keizai, the business publisher. Depending on their method of collecting data, the result can vary. Even Dai-ichi Life Research Institute Inc. could not give an exact number last year: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/ ... ic-impact/

Thank you for your corrections. I was in confusion.
