I never said major cities makes it unpopular. It just takes a tournament in a big city to make people come. That's what I'm saying. You have taken my first comment wrong. Yu-Gi-Oh isn't as popular in THE UNTED STATES as it was when it first came out. And that is fact. Take this for example: Just because Utada Hikaru had sold out concerts in America doesn't make her popular. Do you see what I'm saying? Thousands of people out of millions coming to a tournament doesn't make it popular. Yugioh has lost its umph. FACT.

Where is your proof?KDE has never been happier with the growth of the franchise as a card game.I don't expect MILLIONS of people to flock to tourneys,and there is no way anything of topical interest could ever do that;or ever did.But 7 million or so people in 1 country liking 1 thing does give it notice,which is exactly the case with this card game.This is not a sport nor is it music so the ethics of how you'd judge those categories do not apply.Being culturally engraved and being popular are not the same thing.

It's still not as popular as in its first run.
And where is YOUR proof. Please give the links to these sites.

I'm sorry if I can't serve to your rationality beyond the fact that YGO TGC is the best selling trading card game in the world.KDE america even goes as far as to make cards doe the TCG that might not ever get released in japan's OCG to surge attraction to packs.Dropping almost 2 million bucks to organize every Shonen Jump tourney shouldn't be rationalized as a possibility due to the games popularity right?I'm just relaying personal observations here.If you want proof in text,head to the konami website and read the press kit and furthermore look for chartings for North American TCG sales.
