Unfortunate! Very unfortunate!

P.R. has a renewed chance to succeed by leaps and bounds, but if Sentai starts to bomb too heavily, then it reflects on what happens with P.R. in the longer run!

That said, I also wonder if maybe the next quarter can show an improvement!

Too late to wonder about current team-ups in production or nearing release, but perhaps a future team-up can give Lupinranger VS. Patranger a needed boost!

A noteworthy question is whether this will influence some production changes on next year's Sentai? The genesis for the next entry is already in conceptional stages if not further, so would this news force a shift in Toei's thinking? Did Toei already forecast this result and plan accordingly; they knew what was coming and their next Sentai will be different and therefore this result will not affect their current plans anymore than was already anticipated?

While the VS. entry might not work for Sentai, P.R. is a slightly different game altogether! Go-Busters had poor toy sales, but we all know where that's going!

It does make one wonder where next year's direction will go, especially if Toei needs a "WIN!!!" to try and recoup their losses!

A double-shame since the current Movies have actually done semi-well!
