Disc sales mean almost nothing to merch-based franchises. Last year PreCure sold less than thousand discs on average and they still make more than 100 million bucks a year, 2nd biggest anime franchise in Japan only behind Gundam.


PreCure and the like are also on major TV networks during prime-time daylight hours. Sailor Moon Crystal ain't, unless that TV airing had a good time-slot.

That wasn't the point. The point was to note that it is useless to judge success of merch-driven franchises based on disc sales.
