Magic the Gathering's Final Fantasy crossover set made $200m in a single day


Magic the Gathering's Final Fantasy crossover set made $200 million in a single day.

Watch on YouTube Cocks stated: "Lord of the Rings took six months to deliver $200 million of revenue, Final Fantasy took one day, and we left demand on the table [...] So we couldn't produce enough. On the other hand, Magic the Gathering has a rich history of its own lore and characters, and with these crossover sets continuing to bring in the big bucks, there's a reasonable concern that years-long story lines will take a back seat to new partnerships between Hasbro and various media companies across the world.
