* Creator/{{Atlus}} has enjoyed a major boost in the Western market thanks to ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', so much so that most people are not only expecting ''Persona 5'', but also re-releases of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'' and a portable version of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' because ''the series is just that big''.
** ''Persona 3'' is popular enough in Japan that it currently has 2 remakes, a few cell phone games, an anime, a few different novels, a ton of figures, a manga, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
** ''Persona 2 Innocent Sin'' is getting a remake. People in the West pretty much expect a localization after [[NoExportForYou all these years]].
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' has an UpdatedRerelease on the PlaystationVita, an [[TheAnimeOfTheGame animated adaption]] titled ''Persona 4 the Animation'', and a sequel to both it and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena''. [[spoiler: And if the common theories are correct, it's a sequel to the other two ''Persona'' games via the reintroduction of Nyarlathotep as the Malevolent Entity.]]
*** Oh it gets better. Now there is a ''Persona magazine'', two SpinOff light novels starring [[EnsembleDarkhorse Naoto and Yosuke]], and to top it all off, ''a live-action play.'' Not to mention that fact [[WordOfGod Atlus]] originally said that ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' would get not any {{Updated Rerelease}}s.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' is on its way to this status, with two games out of a planned trilogy, three novels, an admittedly bad phone game, and two comic miniseries from Creator/DarkHorseComics. The {{D|ownloadableContent}}LC seems to be flowing steadily too.
** Especially when you realize that Creator/{{Bioware}} literally created a galaxy that has depth that rivals ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek''. They could cash in on this galaxy for decades to come.

* Creator/{{Atlus}} has enjoyed a major boost in the Western market thanks to ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', so much so that the release of ''Persona 5'' was guaranteed even before they officially announced they were working on it, because ''the series is just that big''.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' is popular enough in Japan that it currently has 2 remakes, a few cell phone games, a [[Anime/PersonaTrinitySoul spin-off Anime anime]], a few different novels, a ton of figures, a manga, a movie series, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
** The resurgent popularity of the series has lead to PSP remakes of the earlier ''Persona'' games; for Western audiences, this meant both a complete and competently-translated version of the first ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona}}'', and the [[NoExportForYou first official overseas release]] of ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona 2}} Persona 2: Innocent Sin]]''.
*** On the other hand, the remake of ''Persona 2: Eternal Punishment'' didn't do nearly as well, and Western gamers were stuck with an unaltered rerelease of the original North American PS1 localization as a consolation prize.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' has an UpdatedRerelease on the PlaystationVita, an [[TheAnimeOfTheGame animated adaption]] titled ''[[Anime/{{Persona 4}} Persona 4 the Animation]]'', and a sequel to both it and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena''. [[spoiler: And if the common theories are correct, it's a sequel to the other two ''Persona'' games via the reintroduction of Nyarlathotep as the Malevolent Entity.]]
*** Oh it gets better. Now there is a ''Persona magazine'', two SpinOff light novels starring [[EnsembleDarkhorse Naoto and Yosuke]], and to top it all off, ''a live-action play.'' Quite impressive when you consider that [[WordOfGod Atlus]] originally said that ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' would get not any {{Updated Rerelease}}s.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' is basically this, with a full trilogy, four novels, two phone games, an anime movie, and eight comic miniseries from Creator/DarkHorseComics. The {{D|ownloadableContent}}LC is continuing to flow steadily too.
** Especially when you realize that Creator/{{Bioware}} literally created a verse that has depth that rivals ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek''. Even after the massive outrage over ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'''s ending, they could still probably cash in their creation for decades to come.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', since its debut in Winter 2011, has quickly become one of these for both Creator/StudioShaft and Creator/{{Nitroplus}}, spawning a manga adaptation, three manga {{spinoff}}s, a novel, loads and loads of merchandise (both official and non-official), a PlayStationPortable videogame adaptation, a magazine, two online video games, and a two-part CompilationMovie. All the Blu-Ray volumes in the series have sold more than ''415,000'' copies altogether in Japan, and a sequel movie is set to be released in 2013. And even more sequels [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-10-16/new-madoka-magica-show-considered-after-3rd-film are considered]] by the writer. Why even bother explaining it all here? [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Products these]] [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Merchandise links]] [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Fanworks will help you]] see how big this series has become.
** Note that like ''Evangelion'', ''Madoka Magica'' is also a deconstruction.
