It surprises me that things are going so badly for them. I guess I always assumed that the brand was too big to fail. Certainly, whenever I see the stuff in toy shops, there's so much of it that I assume it must be doing well, whereas, by comparison, smaller toku franchises like the Girls x Heroine stuff take up far less space on shelves and have far fewer lines, which I personally think is sad, but that's me.
I can give you the numbers so you can look at it in context.

I actually think the "Too big to fail" argument is kinda a reason why it's dying. A fail to modernize, change with the time. Which kinda leads into the "Rider is becoming more like Sentai" thing. Riders is a franchise that's far more willing to try something new out. Which helps that the only thing that really needs to be followed for a Rider show is the "Cross of Fire" concept and the 3 major design concepts of Rider, big, bug-like eyes, a gem or object on the forehead, for example, Saber mostly uses the swords for that and a horn or something standing up from the head.

I mean, we each have different opinions, but if you'd shown me that first episode of
Saber
without the credits and asked me what it was, I would told you with the utmost conviction that it was a new sentai show.
I personally think it's very similar to Ex-Aid's first episode, with a newbie gaining the power of a Driver, while having an unknown connection to the threat with a fight and victory against the first monster which also grows giant during the fight. Minus the mook fight in Ex-Aid and the order of the monster growing giant, the two episodes are very similar.
