The Generational Shift: End of Toys?

The Barbie article suggests traditional toy brands remain commercially strong (a $1B/year brand), which leans toward the falsification criteria of toy sales holding steady, but it lacks direct comparative data on digital/streaming engagement trends. The ACCC recall notice is unrelated to the digital-vs-physical shift and offers no signal either way. Overall, the evidence is too sparse and indirect to confirm or contradict the six-month generational shift thesis.
