Activision still believes in toys-to-life, Skylanders the 11th most successful game franchise of all time
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
There’s been some talk as of late about the decline of the toys-to-life business. For the most part, amiibo is still doing quite well, and LEGO Dimensions entered the scene last year. But Disney Interactive recently closed entirely – marking the end of Disney Infinity – and Skylanders hasn’t been performing quite as well as it used to.
Despite this, Activision still appears to be very much on board with toys-to-life. The company announced Skylanders Imaginators today, reaffirming its commitment to the market.
Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg also told TIME that the publisher believes in the potential of toys-to-life. In his remarks, he mentioned that “Skylanders is now the 11th most successful game franchise of all time after just five years.”
When asked about the situation of Disney and concerns about the toys-to-life category, Hirshberg said:
I certainly can’t comment on Disney’s business, so that’s a good question to ask them, and they’ve obviously got good reasons for making the decision they did. What I will say is, we’ve said publicly that some of our more recent games haven’t met our expectations, and yet we’re still here making games, so we obviously still believe in the potential. We created the category, and Skylanders is now the 11th most successful game franchise of all time after just five years.

Toys-to-life sales in the UK are down 12% thus far in 2016
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 17 Comments
In the UK, 2015 was a rather good year for the toys-to-market market. £129 million was generated from related games and figurines.
2016 is a different story, at least thus far. The toys-to-life market, comprised of Skylanders, Disney Infinity, amiibo, and LEGO Dimensions has seen a 12.1 percent dip in revenue year-over-year. Keep in mind that LEGO Dimensions had not yet shipped at this time last year. The decline can be partially attributed to retailers providing heavy discounts on toys-to-life products.
